I have seen Proof Like (PL) and Deep Mirror Proof Like (DMPL) Morgans, but does the Big III TPG recognize any other coin besides Morgans as PL & DMPL?

I just found a Franklin half and an Indiana quarter with PL distinction from NGC.

I have seen Seated coins and some gold coins usually Liberty double eagles with the PL designation. I wonder if any other coins other than Morgans that have gotten the DMPL designation. I can't recall ever seeing one.

Classic coinage isn't unheard-of in PL, and DMPL examples are known. Here's an object of lust for you:

The relative commonality of PL/DMPL Morgans is due to their huge mintages and lack of thorough circulation. Lots of dies were used, and most were repolished during their lifetimes, multiplying the chances for PL/DMPL examples from fresh-surfaced dies. Other Classic coinage had much lower mintages - fewer dies - and circulated heavily.

But they're there, and when you see one, it stops you in your tracks.

Here's a PL graded Mercury Dime. It shows a lot of die polishing lines. I have an NGC MS66FB* 1944-D with a super-hammered strike from a polished die that I would describe as proof-like. It's defied my efforts so far to get a good picture.
