smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 11:52 am I have questions. Lots of interesting raised dots and bits in the right obverse field. Some on the reverse, too, eagle's left wing tip. But the cameo looks very convincing. Opinions? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1880-S-BU-...AOSwpZZdiSdP Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 12:14 pm It might make cameo, although the reverse might not make it. Definitely not DMPL. If you want a true DMPL you almost have to buy NGC or PCGS, and even then be extra attentive to the mirror fields. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36906 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 12:17 pm I agree, not DMPL. The reverse is even iffy as a PL. Coin is not worth the asking price. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 12:43 pm I've a susppcion there may be more to this coin. The date appears askew. With well over 100 VAMs for this date & mm, it may take awhile to wade through. http://www.vamworld.com/wiki/1880-S_VAMs Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 6:38 pm I would say PL obv, normal rev and extremely overpriced (you can buy PCGS or NGC slabbed 1880/1881-S 62-63PL's for $100 with a bit of shopping.) You cannot easily tell PL/DMPL from photos, since 1) the only difference is in the depth of the fields' reflectivity and 2) photos are very easily altered to exaggerate PL characteristics (reduce brightness and increase contrast.)

NDBirdman Pillar of the Community United States 747 Posts	Posted 09/26/2019 7:07 pm I have 2 of them, one MS64PL, one MS65 both in PCGS slabs. I paid $114 PL, $100 for the other. Have had a couple years but if this one makes you ask questions, find another one. They are out there. Edited by NDBirdman 09/26/2019 7:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
