NGC Grading error?

[Abw]

Firet post here..

 

I bought a 2016 Mexico 2-Coin Silver Libertad Proof/Reverse Proof Set set and sent it in for grading about three weeks ago, Well, It's on its way back and the grades are live. (Below)

 

My question is way is one graded prooflike? Also, why is the Reverse Proof not listed? I saw this online a couple weeks ago and called and emailed to make sure they knew the these were a proof and Reverse Proof limited set. (1000 minted) How can a widely known proof coin be graded prooflike. It could be graded lower but it's still a proof.

 

Am I missing something?

Only NGC can tell....

Just seems strange even though it's a great grade..A Proof is a proof and these are definitely a proof and Reverse Proof..Don't understand the Prooflike grade..

 

I explained what they were on the paperwork, email, and with customer service..NGC should know..Pics of the actual Libs below..

I have one of these too, they call it "Prooflike" because that's how Mexico's Mint described the coin, they called it "Prooflike" not Reverse Proof. I think it's silly too, but that's why.

Gotcha. I was pretty happy with the grades and thanks for the explanation buddy...

I'm certain Alan knows better than I but when NGC makes an error (in this case I think they did not) they will correct the error at no cost to you.

 

Just for future reference.

Yeah it's not a label error, every reverse proof libertad is graded as "prooflike", here's mine: https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/wcm/coinview.aspx?sc=420414

I never liked the term "reverse proof." It makes no sense if you think about what a proof coin is. Refer to the finish as "reverse cameo," "negative cameo," or "backwards shiny" for all I care, but it is a proof or prooflike coin regardless of the reflectivity of specific parts of the coin.

...then there are sandblast and satin proofs....
