How bout this puppy? Ungraded DMPL. Pix show reflections in the coin.

Can you post a regular photo as well? Very Nice

 

I'd pass on it

 

Me too. It looks so nice in a suspicious way that you'd think it was a modern proof! Is it graded?

 

I don't know what you guys find wrong with it, but I think it's pretty darn nice. When you look at most DMPL's in photos taken directly overhead, it is very hard to visualize the true depth of the mirrors, and that is what he is trying to convey to the viewer. I've used this same technique myself, and I learned it from a very intelligent and experienced collector, airplanenut, about 6 years ago.

Would anyone care to venture a guess as to value? From what I can make of the pix, I'd guess it to be MS62 or 63 but if it's a true DMPL it would be worth quite a bit more, at least from a collector's point of view.

 

A 63DMPL would be about a hundred bucks if graded. The mirrors look great but give it a good lookover for any cleaning or whizzing.

 

Here is my 84 O/O VAM-4 Top 100. It's in a PCGS MS64DMPL and the book on it is about $370.

I don't like the bare fingers all about the coin in the first pics.
It was making me very nervous just looking at the pic! As though it was going to slip and run right into his prints...
The second set of pics, with the gloved hand, was much more calming.

That first one looks like a great mirror, but like mentioned, it's almost too good.
Just my opinion, and worth what you paid for it!

 

It almost looks "new" which I'm hoping it isn't.

 

You're looking at around a 63DMPL(?).

There are some in PCGS slabs that have sold on eBay for $125.00.

 

HHHmmmm...Interesting. I would have guessed a slabbed DMPL would draw more of a premium but then again that's about twice the price for that date/mint without the DMPL. This one is not slabbed so maybe it will go for less. That MS63 is just my own guestimate based on the pix which leave a bit to the imagination. Thanks...

 

Nice 84-O!!!:thumb:

 

Jeremy usually keeps pretty busy. I don't know if he has completed his studies at MIT or if he is working on advanced degrees. He pops in every once in a while on NGC, and still has his annual fund-raising auctions for cancer research. The next time I run into him, I'll be sure to tell him.

I believe he is back in Washington working with Boeing.

 

The 1884O is the second most common Morgan with 9,730,000 struck at New Orleans that year and there are around 1200 certified MS63 DMPL.

 

Would love to see some straight ahead pics of it , still other than looking new , I see nothing wrong with it .

Here's the eBay link. Several more pix. What you think?

The old light (lite) cleaning would scare me away. His straight on shots were not good enough to judge if the cleaning was damaging or to what level of damage.
