    Wow, you guys are grading pretty harshly. From what I see, the cheek looks like it has just breaks in the frost, not hits. I may be wrong though..

    I think the problem might not be them, but the grading companies standards have changed.Some people claim standards are looser now, but if this coin looks PL will it get the designation? Standards have actually tightened on DMPL/PL coins lately. Also, if the coin DID indeed get a DMPL designation than they are supposedly not as tough on those coins due to the high visibility of hits compared to your average morgan. So, you are suppose to give a 1/2 point bump up if you think its PL/DMPL...... OR do you throw all the hearsay out the window and say all that jazz means doodly squat? Its tough enough to assess a coins mirrors through a photo no matter how professional the photographer is. Some would say, a DMPL coin just has THAT certain look......

    No DMPL, no way IMO
    No PL either
    Just a clean 63.
    Nice coin though.

    I don't think you should commend them for over grading it as NGC did ;)
