I'm fairly sure this is from one of the eBay sellers that juices every photo (including making non PL coins look DMPL).

The photos certainly weren't ideal to show the dmpl surfaces-they were better for trying to come up with a numerical grade.
The reveal: AU 58 DMPL ....the photos aren't optimal to show the deep mirrors but they are there. Standards might have been looser for dmpl back...
I'm pretty sure that is just a function of the light bouncing off the mirrored surfaces.
Au details cleaned

Some nice additions!

I didn't really notice any obvious doubling. Maybe just the photo?
Please guess the grade. And guess why I'm extra excited by this coin. :D The first photo is from the seller and the next is my attempt to show...
I like the squirrel. Nice set!

Somehow I missed this thread the first time around but glad I saw it now. That's a cool way of doing a type set!
You are correct as there are GSA “soft packs” which contain circulated coins. see link from NGC below:...
MS 62 PL…initial photos made me think closer to 64 but NGC photos suggest there are more hits…and I think it just makes it as a prooflike

Nice toned Ikes! I've owned a few over the years but haven't had the right keeper yet, so the search continues.
