This does NOT look like a PCGS DMPL......does it???

tsacch

I have seen tons of nice dmpls, cant afford most of them. I have a few in ranges from 61 to 65DMPL and all in pcgs or ngc tombs. i have seen tons of ACG pigs that look closer to this one. whats up? is it the lighting, the way its tilted, or did pcgs just slab a nice coin and accidently labeled it dmpl?

dmpl??????????

It doesn't look DMPL, but then again PLs and DMPLs tend to be difficult to photograph.

Not that grading companies don't make mistakes, but if this were PCI or SEGS or someone like that I'd be a lot more concerned. I would guess that the picture is somewhat lacking. You never know, though...

Almost certainly the picture is the problem. I've seen questionable PLs from PCGS but DMPLS are pretty much no brainers.

Most of my Morgan collection is DMPL...and looking at that photograph I would say that has a decent shot at being the same.

The way they took the photo is most likely the problem.

If you were wanting to purchase that coin...and had concerns...then I would wait for another coin to come around.

I don't know anything about that seller...or his mode of operation - so hard to say what you will get.

Just my opinion on that coin though...is that it is a nice coin.

Should also add that...there are different degrees of DMPL - some stand out better than others.

Lighting and angle. He/she seems to be "Not getting the picture." No pun intended!

DMPL??? Heck its not even PL. I fail to see any depth in the fields, I do see decent lustre. Yes the back has slight frosting but again, lack of depth in the fields doesn't even merit PL. Must be one of those "rare error" slabs

I don't collect morgans but I would worry that the seller has private feedback.

Looks like a "market" DMPL; in other words, for the poor job of many "O" mint coins, it may be a better looking 64 with a better looking depth of field (as "O" mint coins go) so they gave it the designation.

I realize that the depth of field is the primary determinant for a Deep Mirror Proof Like coin, but I sure cannot detect the contrast one normally expects on a DMPL.

I also hate it when a seller offers NO description - In my opinion, it indicates just what they think of the coin.

Gilbert, well said. i think too many people trust pcgs and that its the picture thats bad and not the coins grade.

No, for me it's just that a picture rates barely above sight unseen. You can't know what the coin truly looks like unless it is in front of you.

Th reverse looks possibly DMPL to me, just can't tell the obverse very well.

May be worth a shot if it's returnable. That lousy picture could drive bidders away and you may get a bargin.
