What proof-like coins are there?

tjkilliantjkillian Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭
I know that the following coins are known to have proof-like business strikes, are there any more?

1796 Quarters
1796 Halves
Three cent silvers
Some Seated Liberty Quarters
1794 Bust Dollars

I don't know of any late 19th Century or any 20th Century that I can think of. Maybe Morgan dollars, but those are rare.

    I had an 1883 NC V-nick that was prooflike, once. (And so designated on the ANACS label). But not quite so prooflike as you would think of when discussing P/L Morgans.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    There are Pl coins throughout US coinage. Even coins one doesn't normally think
    of as coming PL are seen this way rarely. SLQ's, for instance, have been reported.
    Most of the '65 to date coinage exists in PL though some is only vaguely proof like
    and relatively few of the date/mm combinations for cents exist. Some of these later
    coins though can be extremely PL and look like branch mint proofs. The most dram-
    atic I've seen other than SMS's which might be proofs are '88-D cents.

    Most modern PL's are unattractive due to excessive marking or poor strikes but these
    can be fantastic sometimes. Many of the '86 to date PL's appear to be burnished.

    Um, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned there are a few PL Morgans out there image

    $20 Libs. A fully PL one is a thing of beauty.

    Texas state quarters (I'm sure there are others, but I've seen these firsthand & they're pretty).

    T3 gold dollars.

    Some capped bust silver.

    20c pieces.

    I believe there are a couple of Mercs out there that are proof-like.

    I once saw a gorgeous 1892 Barber Dime that was a prooflike as an 1881-S morgan dollar.

    Also, I've see some NGC designated prooflike branch mint Mercury Dimes on Ebay.
