Do the TPGs grade PL and DMPL designations by different standards based on different years and mint marks? In other words, would the threshold for...
Literally just opened the box: UNC Details—Cleaned. {sigh} I knew this after checking online, but I wanted to try and identify what I'd missed...
Yes, that wait.... {sigh}
Here's to hoping you and I are right! Going with NGC? It's partly because of recommendations—whether accurate or not—as to their customer...

Yeah, I wish I'd taken additional photos before sending it off.

Plans are: (1) under microscope later today to check more closely for cleaning; (2) submit to NGC this weekend; (3) I can post results once I have...
Thanks so much for your response! Yes, if I had to make an assessment right now, I would lean the same: UNC DETAILS (CLEANED), natural toning. But...
Thanks!
Toning seems natural to me—but I've been burned on AT before—and I certainly have a lot to learn, so I'd love to hear any further insights on AT...
Thanks so much for your input, Chris — I'll put it under the microscope before I send it off for further evidence of cleaning. Worst case (I...

I'm still quite a newbie — and though I feel I've improved with my grading, sometimes a coin throws me, as it seems the TPGs grade certain years...
For the record, NGC just graded it AT — AU Details. So @EyeAppealingCoins, you were pretty much spot on.
Thanks, everyone, for all your feedback!
If the floor is still open on this thread—and people don't mind assessing a Morgan of mine (no points, I know)—I'd love to get people's opinions...
