1892-O PCGS AU-58 Morgan Dollar - (Prooflike!!)

I posted this coin in a Previous Thread 10 Years Ago.
The 1892-O is a rare bird in the world of PL/DMPL Morgan Dollars -- check the price guides for it in MS-63 DMPL and you'll see what I mean!!
I purchased this coin in an Accugrade (ACG) MS-63 DMPL holder (top photos) from E-Bay in ~2003, because I knew that it was one of the toughest Morgans to find in PL/DMPL designation.
The update is that the coin was submitted raw to PCGS who graded it PCGS AU-58. I can attest to the fact that the field reflectivity is at least a strong PL, and may even make DMPL.
As we know PCGS does not designate AU coins as either PL or DMPL even if the surface reflectivity would meet their reflectivity criterion specification. I was hoping that PCGS would eventually designate lightly circulated (AU) Morgan Dollars with qualifying field reflectivity as either PL or DMPL, so that I could add this to my PCGS PL/DMPL Registry Set.
I'm considering whether or not I should resubmit it to PCGS to see if it might upgrade into an MS holder with Prooflike (or perhaps DMPL) designation, or whether I should submit to NGC to get their AU Prooflike (or DMPL) designation, or perhaps even MS-PL.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions about this very intriguing and scarce coin.

sort of look like slide marks from album storage
I wish it were in my collection!!
Also it would be nice to eliminate the reflection from the lights in the background. PCGS has a population 12 in pl and 7 in dmpl. Tough coin and I'm guessing they are graded as such.
They coin does look au from the pics, the mirrors seem to highlight light handling on the high points of the obverse.
I have a 1893-O in PCGS 61PL. O mints around this date a uber hard to find.
It would be beneficial to see a larger image of both sides. Sometimes, a very light cleaning can get you a 58 on an otherwise lovely coin. I can't tell from these images.

This coin is the plate coin from the half dime book for its die remarriage. Took me SIX tries to get it in the holder it deserved (the holder that reflects the grade given to it by Bowers & Merena in 2002 when it sold at the Russell Logan auction)
