Message:: [QUOTE="codydude815, post: 313809, member: 9112"]Well, after looking on ebay for the past hour, it really erks me what some people will call "PL" "DMPL" or "DPL" on a morgan. Its not just a cameo contrast, its refective fields. I see listings all the time about how this coin is PL because it has some cameo on it, but when you look at the pics, the fields are barely contrasted against the raised design. So heres what PCGS goes by for PL and DMPL morgans----- PL-"A regular strike that has considerable reflectivity with clear reflection in the fields at a distance of two to four inches. A slight amount of cartwheel luster may be evident, but this must not impede the clarity of reflection. If the cartwheel effect or the striations cause an area to lose clarity, the designation of PL will not apply." DMPL- Well, couldn't find their fancy talk for this one, but i did find that its 5" reflectivity plus, with cameo devices. ANACS STANDARDS----- At ANACS, the term PROOFLIKE refers to a coin with a minimum of two to four inches of reflectivity of standard typewriter printing in the fields on both sides of the coin. The term DEEP MIRROR PROOFLIKE (or "DMPL") refers to a coin with a minimum of four to six inches of reflectivity on both sides of the coin. At ANACS the term ULTRA DEEP MIRROR (or "UDM") refers to a coin with a minimum of 12 inches of reflectivity on both sides of the coins. So, this concludes my rant/education thread.[/QUOTE]
