Opinons Please on this DMPL Morgan

CalGold

What do think of this coin?

1882 Morgan graded MS64 DMPL by ANACS. The description states that the tone is light violet and it has deep mirrors.

Do you think the toning breaks by the PL and the S in Pluribus are finger prints?

I am generally wary of ANACS DMPLS because they often seem to be more scruffy, toned, finger printed, and less deeply mirrored than PCGS and NGC pieces. But Liberty's face looks pretty clean on this one, Looks like a scratch on the eagles' breast.

Do you think the toning will impair the mirrors or give it an interesting dark cameo effect.

For some reason I think this one might be interesting, which is quite strange for me since I prefer blast white Morgans and a few months back dipped an 1881-o pl that had similar toning that I though impeded the mirrors, which were marginal PL mirror depth

Thanks for your thoughts.

Looks pl, I can't tell anything about the field mirrors.

That is one you would have to see in hand, but by the looks of it, I don't think PCGS would DMPL it. It does look like an interesting coin though.

Thats one ugly image. Hopefully the coin will look better in person.

That's only deep mirrors if you're ugly

yes that is a fingerprint on the obverse and also a fingerprint on the reverse after the f in of and before the a in america the fingerprint is on the top viewers right wing

Agreed, that one does need to be "cleaned up" a bit IMO.

Gilbert

The central devices seem frosty!

The "cheek" IS clean, but a 64 from ANACS tells me that there is more going on than how one perceives the toning. For me, it would be a conservation candidate, and would have to be priced accordingly. Apologies in advance to those who don't subscribe to coin conservation.

My opinion is that it is MS64 PL where do they see mirrors? Cool coin by the way

CalGold I think you have a good handle on ANACS and PL Morgans.
Usually it takes an ANACS UDM to be comparable with PCGS DMPL .
Lots of ANACS DMPLs grade PCGS PL.
I like weird looking Morgans too. I think this one will have light tone that's very translucent and if you turn it one way you see light tone and if you turn it another you don't see the tone and see more brilliant coin. Yes, that's prints on the obv by Liberty's cap and on the rev by the eagle's wing. It won't be as weird & unusual loking as the scan suggests.
