<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 6224696, member: 24091&quot;]Sometimes being proof-like can actually detract from the grade because any abrasions in the fields are so much more noticeable.&nbsp; Hence, a coin that might have otherwise slabbed as MS64 will end-up multiple points lower because of the marks in the fields that wouldn&#039;t even be detectable on a frosty coin.&nbsp; And so I kind of agree that PL is maybe a bit of marketing schmaltz especially for low-end UNC coins.&nbsp; On coins in the MS64 and above grade, PL deserves all the accolades it gets for the remarkable state of preservation required to reach that grade in PL.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an MS60 that while not labeled PL, clearly is PL.&nbsp; None of the marks would be detectable if struck from frosty or worn dies.&nbsp; They were easy for the grader to see because they were served-up on a mirrored platter that made them obvious. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1246029[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
