Once I pulled it from the OGP, I noticed that it has the exact same look as the SMS Kennedy Halves...so I'm wondering what the criteria for "Proof Like" coins is, and whether you feel this coin would qualify. I realize that grading/seeing mirror finishes from a photograph is difficult. Also, there is a bit of mint haze from the cello that's on the coin that doesn't look like milk spots (so that's a great thing.) Also, I'm curious what the market (value) of a coin like this would be (is it worth grading, and which TPG would be best for submission if it's worth it.
