PL is proof like.
DMPL is deep mirror proof like.
One you can read news print at 4" and the other you can read news print at 8". The entire field on both sides of the coin must meet the criteria to be either PL or DMPL.
Hope this helps.

These are surface designations that describe a coin with mirror-like surfaces.
PL = Prooflike (2-4 inches clear reflectivity)
DMPL = Deep Mirror ProofLike (6+ inches clear reflectivity)

I thought it was unique since it was a original roll from the Cleveland bank.

Here is a DMPL example for you. It is very hard to photograph the mirrors but you can tell how black they are.
