Sorry, I hit the wrong button.

You can see that it's been awhile since I uploaded information. Sorry for the triplicate posts.

Cameo designation is only given to proof )(and SMS) coinage.

Looks like a proof to me.

Sure does.

And, I would have to go with no, it's not quite there for cameo.

And you're saying this is a 59D?

Gonfunko · August 28, 2004 7:54AM

I'd look at that mintmark a bit closer....

Doesn't look like a proof to me...and doesn't look anywhere near cameo. Looks like a business strike with lots of light flooded on one side of it.

Enclosed is another photo of the 1959-D. It is a proof, no question about it.

Ogden - does the reverse look the same as the obverse? If so I'd be really interesting to see it up close as it might be a PL

There is a "D" mintmark on the reverse above the bell?

Denver did not make proofs in 1959, Philidelphia did. It must be a very PL buisness strike.

its a D mint mark?

i have this 1990 Lincoln business strike that sure looks like it has a light cameo. purdy cool.
and a `04 D? Kennedy Half that looks like a (brilliant) proof coin at first glance.

doubt either would recieve a PF designation though.

Cam40 · August 28, 2004 8:31AM

question: Do other business strikes, besides Morgans, ever recieve a PL designation?
I have some PL Lincolns and some PL Jeffs....maybe someday, if not already, those could land in a PL
designated holder.

At NGC, yes.

ANACS will do it, if the coin is worthy:

Cool. I have some of those DMPL Zincolns. Maybe i,ll submit them someday.
