    Not on Canadian P/L coins. I have an unanswered question in for Mr Hall regarding this since last fall. Maybe you can get a response.

    I asked this question last April ...
    Do Prooflike (PL) Canadian 5 cent pieces get CAM and DCAM designations, if warranted?

    Answer from PCGS: No

    I believe the answer would be "no." If you think about it a DMPL could then be graded MS-66 DMPL DCAM, the DCAM is redundant.

    Not for Canadian coins. The PL designates a type of strike, not a condition of the coin.
