DMPL is pronounced &#039;dimple&#039; but this is the first time I have seen &#039;dimple&#039; used to describe a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Morgan Dollars struck from freshly-polished dies often have highly reflective fields and frosted devices and appear to be Prooflike (i.e., may look like a Proof coin). The reflective fields can be mirrorlike and can reflect newsprint (or some other small printing) so that it can be clearly seen and read (if you are good at reading a mirror image) on the coin. If you can read the reflection at a distance of 2&quot; to 4&quot; (that is the coin 2&quot;-4&quot; from the newsprint) the coin would be PL (Prooflike). If you can read the reflection at a distance of 6&quot; the coin would be DMPL (Deep Mirror Prooflike). Both sides of the coin must meet the requirement to be designated PL or DMPL. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
