Interesting Prooflike Bust Half Dollar

Did anyone see this Bust Half sell on eBay the other day? It's an NGC VF-25 PL.
Currently a Pop 1 for the grade according to the NGC census, with 7 other PL coins for that date (Ranging in grade from 63 to 66). This is the only bust half that has received the designation under AU-55 in the entire series.
I'm familiar with the characteristics a morgan dollar needs to be deemed PL, but what do they look for with bust half's?

But I wouldn't be interested in the coin in those pictures.
It would have to look 100 times better in person.

Is this seller affiliated with GSC?
I agree, this coin really lacks eye appeal.

i agree with that but what makes you say thats a great southern coin product? just wondering
I'll wait to be educated, but my initial reaction is "that's just dumb!"
With VF wear, a coin that was originally PL would no longer have PL surfaces in exposed areas.

NGC kinda throws it around, but not too loose. I saw the 1892/1892 Barber Dime FS-302 (FS-008.4), Lawrence-102, VP-001. Repunched Date. MS-64 PL (NGC) yesterday at Julian Leidman's Table in Dallas...it's a beauty!

Highly doubtful that PCGS would give out a PL for it though.

I agree. It doesn't look at all PL, based on the photos.
Like others have suggested, it's most likely a slab error.
I can't believe that coin sold for well over $300.
Bought it raw, sold it raw.
It wasn't messed with either.
I sold it for I think $500.
I remember seeing a similar coin being auctioned by stacks in their weekly sale when the 57th st. collection first hit.
I believe the other piece was an xf pl
PL is not uncommon with capped bust halves. But PCGS doesn't assign the designation and as far as I can tell the market doesn't command appreciably more for them.

The first coin on the left end of the row of photos has their logo. It is very apparent.
"Prooflike. Applies only to circulation issues. The fields are mirrored and the devices may be frosted on both sides."
Ugly coin that to me looks harshly cleaned (polished 'mirrors'?), but what do I know.....
