VAM-14NGC has graded only six DMPLs total for this date; 3 are at MS65 and none higher. PCGS has graded four total, two at MS64 and two at MS65. This is an exceptionally rare coin in DMPL and all gem specimens are currently locked in major collections to the best of my knowledge, except one NGC MS65 DPL that is offered for sale by a major ultra-rarities dealer presently.To top this all off, this coin is clearly a C4/C3 reverse. The double olive is the giveaway. It is a weaker strike than I would have preferred. One or more of the few other prooflikes for this date might be unnoticed HOT-50 VAM-18. (They aren't seen all that often and are usually lackluster with indifferent strikes.) This may actually be the raw 65PL cited in the Top 100 book.Prooflike Condition Census (date): 4 x 66PL(P), 1 x 66PL(N), 2 x 65DM(P), 3 x 65DM(N), 22 x 65PL(P), 30 x 65PL(N)DMPL Condition Census (date): 2 x 65DM(P), 3 x 65DM(N), 2 x 64DM(P), 2 x 64DM(N), 1 x 63DM(N)
