Should there be a Semi Prooflike grade?

DisneyFanDisneyFan Posts: 2,160 ✭✭✭✭✭

Coin reference books mention some classic commemoratives come prooflike as well as other series. Yet, finding a TPG slab that states "prooflike" is extremely rare. Coppers have their RED, RED BROWN, & BROWN. It's all about correctly identifying a coin, not so much a bump in value. When a coin exhibits mirror surfaces, should the term "semi-prooflike" be introduced for those not considered prooflike?

Should there be a Semi Prooflike grade?

    No. There's already PL, DMPL and for ANACS there is also UDM.

    Then we'll need a "nearly semi- proof like" grade, then an "almost nearly semi- proof-like". Then we need to split the grades and create a "semi-proof-like+" grade.

    And none of those designations will change the coin itself...

    No, then we'd have to pay even more for those coins.
