    DMPL's are pretty rare actually. If you think about the fact that the dies produced DMPL coins for about the first 100 strikes you can see just how rare they are. Let's say the 1882cc was being made and the dies last say 70,000 coins then it's easy to figure out that 16 dies were used producing about 1,600 DMPLs. These were then thrown into bags and released for general use (except the GSA's). Making them even more scarce.

    This one lives in a PCGS MS65DMPL CAC holder.

    Superb, but I would expect no less from you, BryceM.

    I looked through Don Rinkor's coins at the Long Beach show 2 or 3 years in a row until I found one that spoke to me. He's the king of the DMPL world IMO.

    BTW, the existence of DMPL dollars is something of a monument to me. This was the pinnacle of the coiner's high art in my opinion. These old guys, waaaaaay back in the 1800s really knew how to make an exquisitely beautiful coin. The nature of the design, basining of the dies, and all that was important, but these were real craftsman. They refined their art and executed this on an industrial scale when doing so wasn't mandated or even expected.

    I do not believe the US Mint today is capable of producing a coin with this sort of look on a circulating coin. Now they lean heavily on "simulated" frost and CNC dimpling to mimic the same effect and they only do this for special issues sold at a premium.
