PCGS Attributes PL type.. but DMPL type?


I was able to secure this one last night and was surprised to find myself the only bidder. It is a pop 1 and the only DMPL dime graded between our host and NGC.
I'm wondering if it met PCGS' standards if it would cross as a DMPL Seated Dime. I'm aware they are recognizing PL type coins as of last year. I'm just wondering if they would even consider a DMPL designation.

    The official word from @BrettPCGS in other threads was that the PL designation was being expanded beyond Morgans (and select moderns); however, the DMPL designation would not be similarly expanded.

    Neat coin by the way!

    Last week I sent in two 1963 NGC MS68 DPL US Mint medals for crossover, and In a month I should get back PL's if everything goes right. The instructions were to not cross them, if not given a new number for PL. None of these medals have ever been graded as PL by PCGS, so it could be a challenge.

    I had True Views done, and so it will be interesting to see what the photos look like and if they will cross them, or not. They had 4" reflectivity, but that is through the NGC holder and maybe it adds to the mirror effect?, so I don't know for sure what they will look like raw. Time will tell.

    Are you saying that you set the minimum grade to 69 PL? You're not allowed to set a minimum grade higher than the existing label grade on crossovers. You're going to be disappointed.

    Thanks, you are right it can't be higher. I said MS67PL for the minimum to cross. I am referring to the new PCGS number needed for CoinFacts number for PL, because they don't have any PL ever graded of these.
