Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2989162, member: 10461"]I certainly don't see a DMPL there.  Based on the reverse alone, which is clearly PL, it would have a shot, though I'm not sure if the frost is consistent enough on the portrait of the obverse to carry it all the way over the PL threshold.  Since it's in a regular MS64 holder with no PL designation, I suspect that must have been the case: the obverse fell just short.  Maybe you'd squeeze a PL out of them after multiple resubmissions, but it wouldn't be worth the hassle and expense. As [USER=90102]@TheFinn[/USER] mentioned, the 1881-S (and, if I recall correctly, the '80-S as well) Morgans were of consistently high quality- probably the highest quality across the entire series (though the Morganites will correct me if I'm wrong).  So these dates come nice.  As such, PL and even DMPL coins are relatively common in these dates, and prices more modest, but if you want a really beautiful Prooflike or Deep Mirror Prooflike Morgan without shelling out big bucks, these are the dates to have! I wouldn't waste time trying to get a PL designation.  Enjoy it as-is, as an attractive type coin.[/QUOTE]
