<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DJCoinz, post: 183214, member: 6756&quot;]DMPL stands for Deep Mirror Proof Like, a term that refers to business strike morgan dollars that have a <i>deep</i> proof like finish. PL stands for Proof Like; which is another term that refers to prooflike business strikes, but PL&#039;s do not have so deep a prooflike finish. PLs and DMPLs usually command a higher price than regular business strikes.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; You can determine whether a coin is PL or DMPL by holding a business card parallel with the coin. If you can read the text when the card is between 2 and 4 inches away, it is a PL. If you can read the text when it&#039;s 4-12 inches away, it is a DMPL. If you can read the text when the coin is more than 12 inches away it is a UDMPL (Ultra Deep Mirror Proof Like).</p><p>The coin below is an 1883-O DMPL.</p><p><img src="http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/DJCoins/CoinTalk/1883Oct.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope it helped! :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
