NGC Adds Important New Designations
[Florida] ¾ Numismatic Guaranty Corporation is now applying the designations PL for Prooflike and DPL for Deep Prooflike to all United States and world coins that merit them. This service goes into effect immediately. Soon to be adopted is the designation FT for Full Torch, which will be applied to Roosevelt Dimes. NGC will begin certifying FT dimes April 14, 2003.
NGC has been using the designations PL and DPL for some years with selected United States coin types, notably Morgan Dollars and many silver commemoratives, More recently, it has been applied to qualifying statehood quarters and Sacagawea Dollars. NGC’s customers have called attention to the fact that other coin types sometimes feature Prooflike or even Deep Prooflike fields, and these qualities will now be acknowledged for all USA and world coins.
These designations will be included when applicable during the normal course of grading, and no special fee or service is required when submitting uncertified coins to NGC. For those having coins already certified by NGC and that may qualify for the PL or DPL designations, these may be submitted for review of their status under NGC’s Designation Review service at a fee of $10. This includes the cost of reholdering the coin. Coins holdered by other companies may be submitted to NGC under its Crossover Service, and their PL or DPL status will be evaluated in the course of grading the coins.
WOW - that was quick.

I lost out on a double-sided PL TD at the last Bowers auction. It hammered at $4250, and I was the underbidder. Grrrr...

How does one get a hater to stop hating?
I can be reached at evillageprowler@gmail.com
"I'll see your FT bet and raise you a PL and a DPL."
Grading company roulette (as applied to proof moderns):
69, 69, 69, 69, 69, 69, 70, 69, 69....
Grading company craps (as applied to crossovers/regrades):
"Snake eyes! Bwwwwwaaaaahhhhhhaaaaahhaaaaaahaaaa."
I'm sure I could come up with some more analogies but I'm out of chips and need to hit the ATM. Will someone hold my seat at the table 'til I'm back? Also, if that waitress comes back, I'll have another round.

Any word on just how much of the "torch" they will use to make the designation?
This could be PCGS's chance to win a "common sense battle" and use the FB designation if that's the detail on which they will focus!
This could get interesting!

Full Somethin' or Other and
You know for years collectors have been posting here that they want certian varities attributed by PCGS, they take polls and everybody wants it and thinks it's a good idea but it never happens.
This thread just answered my question about why PCGS is starting to use the Full Torch designation and I have never heard in my life the first time that anybody has even mentioned wanting it before last week.
