    Excellent detail. Awful color-krap.

    It’s for proof-like coins.
    They aren’t business strikes nor are they true proofs, so the PL is used. Now many businesses strikes (like Morgans) can be prooflike, but the entire run of those coins wasn’t intended to be prooflike (while these world coins were).

    They do this with the Canadian coins too:

    It’s a high relief coin (so the idea is to make it look 3D :) ).

    Possible typo and no standardization of labeling. dunno

    It's not a typo. PL is used as a prefix to designate a method of striking used for foreign coins.

    ...or is it a fake holder? I really don't know.

    Not a fake holder. I’ve bought from the seller who has that coin and they’re legitimate.

    They could try that, but one tends to associate SP more with the burnished or matte proof US coins.

    While not something I would be looking to include in my collection, that is an extremely attractive and excellent rendering of a fox...Hard to believe they could strike it with such detail... Cheers, RickO

    I like that piece.

    Interesting information about the PL designation. There is something about this coin that really grabs me... I think I must own one!!
    So the 69 is listed for $71, and all of the ungraded coins are listed for significantly more. Go figure. The 70 goes for $89, and if I just am attracted to the looks of the coin, why do I feel like I have to spend the extra $18 for perfection? Is there something wrong with me.....? :#

    I guess I'm in the minority because I'm really not a fan of this coin. The amount of detail on the fox is uncanny to me. The Mongolian mint does make some high quality coins.

    I had to just order one to see it in person. The picture looked really good.
