It would probably grade PL, but not DMPL. A 64PL is not worth a couple of hundred dollars for an 1881-S. They are almost rarer without any mirrored fields.

 

I believe not PL due to the obverse not having deep mirrors (the reverse looks PL, as is common).

 

Obverse has same mirror effect as reverse! I will try to setup my camera and try to get another shot, But the second picture above shows mirror effect!

 

This is a $100 coin in 64PL. Don't waste the money having it graded.

 

I'm going to say it probably won't. If PCGS didn't give it a PL designation the last time around it's not likely it will happen today. As already mentioned, the San Fran mint apparently played musical dies and many Morgans were struck with out of balance dies resulting in many one sided PL coins and many near misses.
I've got an 1881-S PCGS graded MS65+ CAC green bean that's almost DMPL reverse and the obverse just misses PL with some frost on the obverse fields.
It is however impossible to say for sure based on a couple of photos that are inconclusive in my opinion.

 

Does the cameo bust obverse count as frost?

 

They’re really hard on PL now a days. That’s one of the designations that’s gotten harder to get as the years have gone on. As mentioned that is a date that is probably the nicest in the whole series.

It’s cheaper, easier, and quicker to just buy a PL one if that’s what you’d like.

 

Well done! And I agree, P/L is even iffy. The best Morgans for quality are the 1879-S to 1882-S. They were doing something very right in San Fran. Probably using more dies than the Mint in Philly were happy with, but someone definitely hit the QUALITY button.

 

Life will go on.

 

It's all ready been graded and did not receive the PL. You could resubmit but I don't feel it's worth the costs. Not a large enough difference in price. What you have is common to this date.verrynice looking coin. Enjoy it as is.

 

Ive seen this before, and its always these early S minted Morgans. It most likely just missed the mark. One side or possibly just one part of the coin wasnt reflective enough.
Personally, i love buying coins like this, you get more for your money

 

hi. What does dmpl stand for. I'm thinkin pl stands for proof like. But lost with the dmpl grading. Can you assist me in a better understanding. Thanks

 

I see a cheek scratch. Cant reallysee if the eyebrow is error free. Clouldy field. Maybe get a higher MS. I like this coin

 

Just acting like i know what I'm talking about.

 

It stands for Deep Mirror Proof Like, Cheech9712, It's a coin that looks like a modern proof but was struck as a circulation strike coin.

 

This coin already has had its chance to get PL. I don’t think it would be worth the time and money to ask for a re-do.

 

Deep Mirror Proof Like, DMPL. It is the designation used by PCGS and most collectors. Pronounced, "dimple".
