sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/02/2013 12:10 pm The words 'cartwheel' or 'radial' usually have more to with lustre in high condition NON DMPL coins. When DMPL is mentioned, the word 'mirror' comes to mind. This sort of lustre is different in character. It seems to me from the above discussion that toning CAN adversely affect mirror performance, and therefore makes it harder to determine if a coin is DMPL or not. Report this Post to the Staff

Therefore, an AU58 grade may be what it technically deserves. ANACS at least will slap a PL designation on AU coins on occasion (I have an AU58 PL double eagle in an ANACS slab). I don't know whether NGC will state PL for a coin judged to be below MS60. Your videos certainly suggest the coin has high reflectivity in the fields. Report this Post to the Staff

There are a number of AU morgans in Heritage's auction archives that received PL. I have yet to see or find any mention of PCGS giving PL to circulated coins. Here's one example: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...4&lotNo=8975 This one got DMPL. http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...9&lotNo=9728 Report this Post to the Staff
