<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 965049, member: 15199&quot;]The general criteria I have read is that MPL is the ability to read text at 3&quot; in the reflection and a DMPL is same at 6&quot;. PL is just that the surfaces are similar to that expected in a proof coin. The second coin is not any of these as far as PCGS is concerned or it would be on the label. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. Each TPG has their own standards and even how the terminology is used , if used.</p><p>2. Different criteria are considered generally used for certain years/mints as the output coins varied accordingly.</p><p>3. It is my opinion that the terms and the corresponding coins,&nbsp; have varied even within the first 2 points, during the years by&nbsp;&nbsp; the TPGs. More recent seems to be more forgiving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best learning seems to be to look at as many as possible in hand at shows, etc., as many&nbsp; photos can be deceiving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
