tsacch: I'd say that the 1880-S is probably the most common DMPL Morgan followed by the 1881-S and the 1879-S. Not only are they the most common of the DMPL's but they are some of the best struck and best preserved of the Morgans.

I will display this 1878-CC which is graded PCGS MS-63 PL (not DMPL) because it's got such a beautiful cameo contrast between the portrait and the fields:

The 1880-S is the most common one followed by the 1881-S. The 1882-S is much tougher. Other very common in dmpl are the 1881-CC to 1885-CC. Yep, the CC one are common! In MS65 dmpl the Carson City ones are more common the the 1880-S. They should have a strong black and white cameo. That is the norm for a carson city dmpl. I'm sure there are lesser ones out there but you really don't want them.

The later dates are not often seen with the strong cameo.

Here is an 1898 DMPL
