When did PCGS start Designating Prooflike?

There is a difference between the Canadian strikes, which are intentionally made and sold as prooflike, and the accidental prooflike strikes which I am referring to. Canada, South Africa, and Russia all make prooflike strikes, which both TPGs grade as PL-64, for example. I'm talking about something more like a Morgan, which would be graded as MS-64 PL.

From PCGS? I know they label the UHR gold as PL, and they had a deal to label a few gold coins from a shipwreck as PL, but I hadn't seen anything else. There are a very few special coins which they gave PL to on a case-basis, but not a regular designation. You got a picture of your Kennedy?

No, no ,no. Gold. Pffft. Like I'd ever own that monstrosity. No. Clad. 2015-D. NGC. I'll never intentionally own any PCGS either.

Darn. I tried to upload a pic here. It's too big for this forum software, A-GAIN!

 

That's what I thought. NGC has been designating PL for decades now, for anything that warrants it.

 

That's not proof of your marketing claim

 

Thank your contribution GDJMSP. I found it very informative.

 

Actually, Charlton used that description in their catalog to describe special issue coins with mirrored fields. The mint just issued them as mint sets.

 

PCGS announced expanding their PL designations a little at their lunch at the ANA show. I thought it was more than just California gold, but maybe it was just a bunch of us sitting at the table grousing about the fact that they didn't expand it to include Liberty gold, AU58 coins, Barber coinage, and so on. You know, the stuff that customers would actually want them to do.

 

Well there you go again, core CT members - proven once again that if you want to keep up, you NEED TO BE at things like ANA conventions. I wasn't on top of this one because, frankly, NOTHING about PCGS needs to cross my attention regardless.

 

Finally some actual information! Do you know if there was a press release? Or perhaps a video-recording of the luncheon so that I can watch the announcement?

 

C'mon, mannnnn. There are trains from Charleston to Philly. Been on one.

 

I make it a point to cross the Mason-Dixon line as infrequently as possible.

 

In August? Lordy, I would hope so! Ya' gotzta stay no'th o' that thang!

 

Man, I can't venture into Yankee-land. The accents sound like cheese-graters on my eardrums!

 

I'm trying to search their website for press releases made at the time of the ANA show and am coming up empty. Their news archive it a bit of a mess. Easiest thing to do would be shoot their customer service a quick message. When you get the response, you can do the same grousing we did in August.
