PL and DMPL on non-Morgan business strikes

Just looking for info as I don't have the latest PCGS Pop report.
1) Other than Morgans, is there any other series which gets a PL or DMPL designation on business strikes?
2) Would people be in favor of PL or DMPL on other series?

I always thought that a Proof was:
1) Made with specially polished dies
2) Care in the blank planchet
3) Potentially double struck
4) Specially handled before the strike and after the strike.
I always thought that PL/DMPL were the results of:
1) Good dies? (Old Proof dies)
2) A great blank planchet
3) Luck of handling that allowed it to go through the rest of the process relatively mark free.
Why just Morgans (or other series that was the original question) get this designation?

I think PL is from a well polished planchet thus the effect of proofs (which are very heavily polished planchets) shows up, depending on the dies polish, as well.

I've always assumed prooflikes were the first coins struck from newly polished dies (when referring to US coins). I've seen lots of coins with small areas of mirrored surfaces, and I assume that area of the die was polished after the removal of rust or damage.
From what I've read, the Carson City Mint was especially good at polishing dies before striking Morgans. Perhaps since most circulation coins weren't struck from such carefully prepared dies, prooflike finishes are less common and thus not noted. Many 1875 20 cent pieces have mirrored fields, but I've never seen one with a PL designation.
