Don't know they did not do that when I did that in order to get First Strike on the holder.

My impression is that they are all prooflike. Am I wrong?

This one didn't get a PL designation.

<< <i>My impression is that they are all prooflike. Am I wrong? >>

Everyone that I've seen at shows (a few dozen) looks just as prooflike as the NGC PL slabbed examples I've seen (maybe half a dozen). I thought PCGS initially agreed with that since they refused to designate any as PL examples (presumably because they were all PL), but it appears that maybe some are a little more PL than the others??? I'd rather keep the coin raw in the original capusle and display box anyways!!

Looks like the reverse of robec's is more satin than the obverse----------BigE

Prices for the uhr are going up by the week - are dealers driving the price ??

pf70collector · March 25, 2011 3:06AM

Something is going on. From Jan-Mar 69s and raws have gone up $600. Why?

BBN · March 25, 2011 3:10AM

Good grief. Just checked ebay. These things are auctioning between $2500-3000. Will these things stay high or is this a fad like the 1999 silver proof set? I mean, beautiful coin, but for $2,500-3,000 I'd rather have a real saint in ms65

As far as I can tell, these are bieng bought and held. So, I expect prices to stay this high for a while.

I'm with Illini420 and would rather just buy a UHR with the box and all. I feel ones that are slabbed and have no box, etc are incomplete......

I believe the "proof like" label is really referring to a "cameo" appearance. Two different animals in my book. I would expect a proof like designation to be based on the fields not cameo like details. From what I've seen on the PL designation with these coins they should have received a "cameo" label instead.

IHC08 · March 25, 2011 5:08AM

Can't say what PCGS will base their designations off, since I haven't seen an official response to that, but NGC bases it off the fields not the details. http://news.coinupdate.com/proof-like-ultra-high-relief-double-eagle-gold-coins-0166/

I've seen NGC coins with the PL designations and without. The ones with were noticeably more reflective, but it's the kind of thing that's tough to capture in photographs.

I purchased this one shortly after PL's became available from NGC. I belive it was the first PL to sell on ebay. I paid $400 more than the price that raw coins were selling for at the time (which was $1550).

Yes.

Mine was an early graded one. MS69 First Strike.
I don't plan on sending it back to try for the PL (I think by the mirror background it would most likely be PL).
