Yes, PCGS designates both "PL" (Proof-like) and "DMPL" (Deep Mirror Proof-like) for Morgans. I checked the pop report for you, and you are correct, I didn't see any PL or DMPL Morgans under a grade of MS60.

If you haven't already, I'd compare the coin you have to auctions that have already ended on eBay, Heritage, etc. That way you can see how your coin stacks up to ones PCGS graded PL or DMPL.

I don't know how the other 2 grading companies handle this. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Good luck. Share some pics if you are able to have some made.

By the way, '84S is a tough year for those designations. Only 3 coins have been graded as PL, with 0 being DMPL.

PCGS does not give the pl or dmpl designation to any coin below ms60. There are a few in the pop reports, but they will not do it now. NGC does give the pl designation to coins below ms if deserved.

It shows that PCGS has given the PL designation to 12 Morgans under the MS60 grade. The DMPL designation has never been given to a Morgan lower than MS60.
