What is the most common (least expensive) DMPL Morgan?

I'd like to own one someday for type, but I know that if I end up with one it will be a very common coin.

    81-S $600 for a 65 G/S
    80-S $550 for a 65 G/S


    I think the 81-S is a better strike.

    The 1880-S has the most total examples in all grades combined (2400+), with the 1883-O and 1884-O at around 1900 each.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Are the 83-O and 84-O weak strikes?

    Frequently, yes.
    When in doubt, don't.

    The 1879-S in MS65 DMPL is one sweet Dimple for about $600.00-$700.00 The San Francisco Mint and the Carson City Mint made some of the best DMPL examples known. Try and pick up a nice common MS64 DMPL for about $250.00 they are out there.

    Some of these prices surprise me. Obviously I am not a Morgan collector, but reading of MS64DMPLs at $250 and up changes my approach. An 1879S for around $700 is just about perfect since I intend to eventually complete an 1879 mint set. Thanks folks.

    I just sold an 1880-s DMPL Anacs for 80.00. It was a nice coin and in fact my first DMPL, but unless you collect them in higher grades the cheek

    marks are a turn off. At least I thought so, so I sold it. Wouldnt mind having one in 65 or 66 with nice clean cheek.

    THE MOST EXENSIVE?????--The Morgan 1880-S semi pl PCGS MS68 solds as lot 1147. ARN March 15,2006----($25,000 or so). It was very pretty, but not as lovely as a white DMPlimage

    Nice quality DMPLs are out there, but shop carefully. There are plenty of borderline coins out there. Also look out for old holder DMPLs. PCGS in particular is a bit tighter on their standards now (sort of the opposite of most grading) and many old green holder DMPLs would only make PL now, and many PLs would not get any designation. On Ebay, the old holders still trade at high prices because the top bidders don't realize this.

    For collectors on a budget, in MS63 and below the prices are significantly lower. Whether a collector can stand the drop in quality, is a personal decision. DMPLs do show marks more than non-PL coins. ANACS also used to designate one-sided DMPLs and these are not as much money for obvious reasons.
