I picked up these ten Morgan's over four years ago. To submit or not submit to a TPG is the question.
Maybe submit just one as a test subject for the rest, which are very similar in condition?
Below is my feable attempt to demonstrate their reflectiveness. I can view in the coins' fields, items/markings on paper, four (4) inches + out; even at low light levels.

It's easier (for me at least) to tell if they're DMPL or not from straight on pics.
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."
I'll try that approach. Thanks!

@Tramp... Full obverse/reverse shots in good lighting would help us to better evaluate your coins. Cheers, RickO
BTW, nice 1885-O DMPL.
My Android doesn't have the best camera but he is my attempt:
Here's another coin of 10 using my wife's up to date Samsung:

Even if the first coin would otherwise make DMPL - and I’m not confident that it would - I think the areas of haze/cloudiness would preclude it. The second coin doesn’t look remotely close.

Here is one of mine from the same date. It may help you to match up your coin.
Thanks for the feedback and patience. Taking good pictures of my coins is a challenge and something I certainly have not mastered, especially when they reflect everything in the room e.g. color, light, etc. The picture never represents what I see in hand.
I'm going to send a few coins to PCGS here shortly to include one of these Morgan's. I'll be sure to reply with the grading results. Thanks!
