Is there a simple way to distinguish between a MSPL and a PROOF 1865 quarter?

In the course of the past two days, I've seen two high grade examples of an 1865 quarter. One raw, presented as Proof 64, and one graded by NGC as MS-64PL. I don't have the luxury of having had the NGC coin in hand. Is there a published resource for specific diagnostic markers on the Proof that would set it apart from the business strike,or vice versa? BTW, the PL business strike is priced at 3X the ask price of the Proof. I would certainly want to be dang sure that the NGC coin is not a Proof.image
