Is this a good DMPL Morgan???

AtcBob

Hey all,

As I'm tryin' to learn, is this a good DMPL 1882-S?

Hard to tell from just 2 pics, but it does look like a DMPL to me.

Very nice reflection on the reverse, but let's see theobverse!

In order to be graded PLDC a Morgan dollar must exhibit the characteristics

on both sides. We have not seen the obvers, but the mirrors on the reverse seem DM PL.

In addition to the mirrored field the devices must have sufficient frost and contrast on both sides

to warrent this illusive catagorie.

That looks like that guy on eBay that sells a lot of raw unnatural looking dmpls. They all look polished to me. Just because they reflect red means nothing, a dmpl must reflect newsprint clearly at a distance of 4" with no blurry areas on obv or rev.
Since they are raw on eBay I would say they are not good DMPLs.

Sorry for the lack of quality...but here is the obverse

Um, I know you are not refering to me as the "guy" on e-bay who "sells" un-natural morgans. I'm just starting out and buying and selling a few here and t

Well it's certainly a Beautiful Coin and looks DM doesn't seem to have the frost needed from your pic's for PL

AtcBob

Thanks for the reply's...I'm learnin'....

That looks like that guy's pictures from eBay that sells a lot of raw unnatural looking dmpls.
Better?

AtcBob

Hmmm. I'm not sure what you are refering to , I am new to this. I'm not sure what the heck you mean. You mean MY pictures? Are you infering that I sell un-natural or what?

Are you questioning my integrity? Just curious....

I don't know how to make it much clearer..............
There's a seller on eBay.
He sells really shiny looking raw DMPLs reflecting bright colors like red, white & blue flags to show how nice shiny & reflective they are.
The quality of his coins have been the topic of several discussions on this forum.
That picture looks similiar to the pictures he uses.

ER

I agree with Dog97 completely.
And what's up with the slanted images? Let's view them straight on.

AtcBob

Okay I understand. Like I said I'm new to this, so I'll take some more pictures. Any suggestions on how to show the mirror?

The seller I speak of lists dozens of questionable DMPLs each week. We call them California DMPLs & California Proofs. They should be avoided as should be most raw DMPLs on eBay.

You're on the right track with your pictures, check this auction, you might get some good ideas on how to show the mirrors. Text

Ummmm, Careful now. I use to call them Oakey Hillbilly DMPL from Alabama. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
