Petena64 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I have a question to ask anyone who is with NGC and the grading department? I am a member of NGC and submit about 100 to 150 coins a month and I’m not a dealer. Just a collector and have been receiving some really confusing grades lately. As a example I just got back a 1881 Carson city GSA and it received a score of MS 64. Below is a picture of mine and can’t quite understand why it would not receive a prooflike designation when examples I have provided below mine in these images did and mine did not. First image without the PL is obviously mine and the others just some off eBay and elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Ronnie@NGC Posted May 6, 2019 Administrator Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi, Thank you for your message. For a coin to receive a PL or DPL designation, it must show evidence of distinctive mirroring and frosted devices. While your coin may have terrific eye appeal, it may not exhibit these characteristics. The best way to evaluate reflectivity is to rotate the coin under lighting.
