    Another one!! Ok, go for it, and use the tools you have to evaluate it.

    I think the hits in the field on left side of the obverse limit and otherwise outstanding coin. But a couple do look deeper. I think this coin ends up MS64 as a result. Wonderful cameo effect with great polish lines on the reverse.

    I’m gonna say MS64DMPL but eye appeal that greatly outclasses the technical grade.

    66 DMPL like last time,this one is much better and I can't see it just getting PL one bit.

    It's got character. I'm seeing MS63PL, possibly MS64PL, if they think their market dictates.

    64, I think there is a lot of contrast between the devices and fields so DMPL, But to much contact to get to gem. Nice one Morgan dude.

    This one has a few contact marks on the bust and then the hairlines in the reverse right field. Not as nice as the 67 so thinking 65 PL.

    I think MS-64 DMPL the mirror surfaces show every mark and exaggerate them in my opinion.

    This one was pretty easy. The “Black and White” appearance gave it away. The slab needs to br polished, as it is scratched and dirty.

    Not being Ed Wood (even though I have an honorary degree from his school :p), I guessed MS 64 DMPL before the reveal. The clear black and white contrast suggested the mirrors were deep enough for the DMPL. Some scattered hits and chatter in the fields kept it out of gem. Lovely coin overall!

    Thanks, I got it cheap, as the holder’s pretty beat up. I need to give the slab my famous conservation treatment, or get it reholdered, as the scratches, and grit are distracting. You are quite right about the Black/White cameo effect being a dead giveaway for DMPL. If it is pronounced, like it is with this coin, it is a DMPL from any TPG. I just have to rectify the ugly slab issues.

    Close but no cigar. Bet it looks great in hand.

    This time I was one grade higher but I got the DMPL. :) Are you sure it’s a 64 and not a 65? Lol
