Just six in all grades combined... one MS60, two MS61s, three MS62s

That is a very rare coin in DMPL.

You might want to add the word "Morgan" to your title line... it helps in people searching

Yes, its a very rare coin in DMPL (pop 6), and I have it on my watchlist. But this coin would not grade DMPL by today's standards. If this coin were cracked out and resubmitted today, I estimate it would come back 62PL (which is not too shabby). PCGS may have gotten looser with their numerical grades, but they have gotten much tougher with the PL/DMPL designations.

That is a tough coin, Randy, and appears pretty good in the images for an MS60. A lot of prooflikes of that dates (and the 86-O and 97-O) often are marginal cases with only one side being fully prooflike. This is true even of certified ones, though they are still desirable by many collectors nonetheless. Your piece looks pretty nice. It is decently struck up, looking at the breast feathers and denticles. The hair is blurry (maybe the holder and lighting) and the stars to the right of the date are not weak, a very common problem in New Orleans Morgans of the era.

Have you VAM'ed it BTW? Looks like VAM-17 to me.
