On pl morgans the eye goes to the fields first as well as the cheek so the fields are just as important to the grade assessment, if not more so. I was just going to post this. With PL and DMPL coins, the fields need to be very clean to start making their way into upper grades. Looks like a solid 63, great coin. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/14/2015 9:46 pm Finally got it today, bad seller sent via fedex without my permission causing a 4 day delay (fedex is terrible.) Took a couple quick snap shots at work. Really does have super deep mirrors, at least as good as my other -63DMPL. I'm sending it off to Todd soon, probably.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 11:52 pm I think PCGS was a bit strict, the coin has eye appeal to burn and field marks on a DMPL Morgan are always more visible than on a normal frosty-luster coin. If graded on another day it might have gotten that MS-64DMPL. Hey, maybe it's worth trying for CAC approval! Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 12:06 am I'll be at ANA 2016 here in Dallas area in March so I might take it by CAC's tables and let them have at it. I took two days off work just to attend the show, so I'll have plenty of time to burn. (Not like I need an excuse to take a mini-vacation when I work 70 hour weeks.) If Todd is going to be out there I may just wait until then to get the pictures done since I have a few other higher end coins that also need the great BluCC photo skills to really come alive.
