<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2515566, member: 46237&quot;]Not sure why you say this. The OP is clearly asking why <i>NGC</i> is labeling the coin MS instead of PF. To answer this question one needs to determine NGC&#039;s process for determining whether or not a coin gets the proof designation. As all they will typically have to go on is the appearance of the coin and we&#039;ve already established that <i>you cannot tell if a coin is a textbook definition proof by its appearance</i>, the textbook definition of a proof is therefore irrelevant to this discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not complaining about my experience with NGC, rather illustrating that identifying a proof is not straightforward, as you cannot tell the method or intent with which a coin was struck. The evidence I have presented is intended to speak to NGC&#039;s inconsistency in identifying proofs (or at least proof-like coins), and to speculate on why that is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
