[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1424923, member: 15309"]First things first. I am not the DMPL or PL master. In fact I have never owned a DMPL Morgan Dollar. What I am is a very good amateur numismatic photographer. If you read Mark Goodman's book, you will realize how rudimentary my advice is. As far as coins being PL or DMPL on both sides. It is very common to see that. The DMPL effect is from freshly polished dies. If both dies were polished at the same time, you will see the PL effect on both sides of the coin. However, there were instances where only one die was polished. The result would be PL qualities on one side and frosty luster on the other side that was stuck from a later die state.

[IMG]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MD1880-SNGCMS65-1.jpg[/IMG] I actually wrote a thread about this coin once.
