shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 11:59 am I'm finally starting to photo catalog my coins. I Believe the first to be a DMPL....tough to capture in the pictures.....second one I believe to be a typically weak struck New Orleans Morgan. Let me know your opinions.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 1:30 pm I agree coin #1 to be MS62. Appears to be at least PL from the appearance of the fields. Can't make a call on DMPL from here. It is a fairly decent strike for the year/mm. Coin #2 is tough to call for me because of the toning. It could be a weak struck MS62 all the way down to AU55.

shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 1:32 pm What is the test for a DMPL....is it newspaper print from a foot away? I know under regular room lighting I can position my finger roughly a foot away and get a good reflection. I tend to have a hard time with New Orleans morgans....I have 2 of this particular date slabbed the second one here appears to be a carbon copy of one I have slabbed by NGC at MS 63.....however I know that one is a very flat strike.....I have the same feeling about this one however my experience is much more limited than most on here.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 6:47 pm MS-62+ DMPL AU-58 Something about the luster of the face and the hair looks a bit dull like from wear. I could be wrong and it is just in the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 6:53 pm The obverse of the second coin has pretty dark toning which I feel has impeded the luster in the pictures....I am still trying to tweak my lighting set up Report this Post to the Staff
