1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Cook's Voyage BU/prooflike?

Hello, fellow Numista members,

I have a really quick and boring question regarding this coin...
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12405.html

Does Prooflike mean BU (A mirror finish, but with a single 'hue' instead of the double "hue" that proof has?)
As I am from the Netherlands both terms aren't really used, we just use the terms "G, VG, F, VF, XF, UNC" and "Proof" (Of course these are all translated into Dutch, but I think you get the point)

See my "I really didn't want to put any more time into this photo than I had to" photo.




Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Edit: I find the term "Prooflike" to be very confusing... Therefore, my question
"It's Proof, but not quite..." Okay, so what is it?

Proof like and BU are terms that have lost favour in numismatics. The grading number system has tended to replace them. In both cases they would have been coins that were generally struck for circulation but were from early die strikes. They tend not to have the same surface characteristics (luster) of proof coins but can be close. They also go through normal mint processes so can have bag marks on them. Today most people would use the MS grade instead of these terms.

Grading is more art than science. Many people look forward to the day it is not done by humans but a machine that applies a set of rules that are applied without bias and give a fairer assessment of coins.

Calgarycoin.com has a very good discussion on grades and striking styles as it applies to Canadian coins and the Royal Canadian Mint. The mints have changed press styles and marketing styles over the years to maximize their profits. I think the more confusion there is, the more collectors buy.

Quote here is 2019 values in NZ dollars

also watch out for the fault coin with no hyphen on edge
the coins tend to sell at alot better prices on local Auction sites

Hi this coin is considered in NZ as UNC--and this issue was never in circulation so should always have a nice lustre. They were issued in plastic capsules to protect them and never had a buying value

They howerver did produce a proof like version that was limited 50,000
