I think I did good with this one...

Don't always care for seller's pics and sometimes it's like horseshoes. This time I think I got a ringer, 10 points!
Originally this dollar was a DMPL and even at 55 shows PL characteristics.

Exactly what I was thinking too.

Well, good question. Perhaps it never was but at the present grade of 55 it is still PL (although a TPG won't say so). But in hand it certainly appears that in MS it would have been a Dimple.

Just my two bits and of course all conjecture by this novice.

NGC will grade an AU55 coin PL or even DPL if warranted. I’m not sure this one would qualify though.

NGC won't see this coin from me. PCGS might but probably will leave as is.

Anacs was designating au coins as pl or dmpl, so I'm guessing this coin didn't meet its standards

Did not know that and the reverse is better than the obverse today.....so maybe not.

It's okay, though, I like the coin as is!
