How about some unusual PL or near PL coins

Prooflike Morgans are certainly beautiful, but somewhat common. Let's see some PL or near PL coins that are not usually seen. A Peace $, or Franklin, or Washington, or a Buffalo nickel, or whatever. They don't have to be graded PL just have that look.
I will start with a Walking Liberty half. It is a 42-S graded MS64 by our host. I am not claiming it is a full PL, but it leans that way.

Post what you have.

    I have a few in Jefferson nickels. image

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    How about a steel cent? Even looks cameo when held at the right angle.

    16S walker, NGC AU58.....the fields toned gold from the years it was in my Dansco set, prior to submission to NGC, which enhanced the cameo affect:

    This 1807 quarter has always been a bear for me to photograph, and it is only an AU-55 so some of the mint surface is gone. Still both sides show proof-like surfaces, the most obvious spot in the area of the stars above the eagle's head. It is an early die state of the 1807 Browning 2 variety which does not show a crack on the reverse which shows on virtually all of the examples of this die variety.

    Here are a couple of PL dimes. The 1879 is a PCGS MS66. The reverse of the 1940-S is somewhat PL, but not as much as the obverse. It's a difficult coin to photograph.

    Seller's Description
    Very flashy, with a semi-prooflike appearance, bordering on prooflike on the obverse.

    That side also features splashes of vivid green, red and orange color, which is more translucent and prettier in hand.

    The darker areas, in particular, look very different and quite gorgeous, under light.


    All very true.

    Our host does not afford the PL designation on business strike Seated type, but then this coin may be other than a business strikeimage
    I have never seen another like it, thus the unusual characterizaton...

    So is that the top of an 8 or a 6 in the denticles below the date?

    Or maybe even the curvature of the flag of the 7.
