1880 S/ DMPL Rainbow Toned

Hard to tell if it is DMPL from your photos. You might want to remove it from the 2 x 2 and take a few more shots to get a better opinion. It's probably still worth getting slabbed.

DMPL? You're going to want to be able to read standard newsprint clearly, reflected in the fields of the coin, at a bare minimum of 6" away. DMPL is not easy. The toning won't affect things, because there's enough clean field left on both faces to make the experiment possible. If you haven't seen a true DMPL Morgan, you'll be staggered by what you see. You don't dare look at a light bulb reflected in one, much less the sun. They're literally perfect mirrors, quite clear enough to shave in.

And both fields must demonstrate this reflectivity for it to get either PL or DMPL.

Keep in mind, 1880-S isn't an uncommon date with PL/DMPL surfaces. This coin's auction value won't reach $300 in MS63 DMPL.

I wanted to add that if all you posted were the first pictures I would have said the Reverse may be DMPL but it didn't look like the Obverse had DMPL fields. The second pictures show that the Obverse may also have those fields but it could just be the lighting that makes it look that way. A reflection is needed to be able to judge how proof like the fields are if at all

I am not sure if it would qualify for DMPL. Both sides have to be DMPL and while the reverse might be DMPL, the obverse might not. What I am a bit concerned about is the toning. Toning tends to have a natural progression from yellow to magenta to blue and I am not quite seen that band of magenta in between the yellow and blue. Also the toning seems to flow over the hair and lettering without care for elevation. What is often seen on naturally toned coins is lower elevations have a different color than on higher elevations even when they are right next to one another. While the lack of it is not an automatic sign of AT, the presence of breakaway toning would confirm it is naturally toned which I don't see on this coin. I would not be too surprised if a TPG decided to call the toning questionable. MS-63 looks like it could be a reasonable grade but I am not sure from the pictures. I wished I could have been a bit more upbeat on this coin.

It would, but I don't see them calling your coin AT.

I would be interested in hearing why a they would not call it questionable toning. I can't say with 100% certainty if it is AT or not but my previous post shows where I lean. I have been wrong before and could be with this coin. If you do submit, I wish you the best.

$90 isn't unreasonable. Even if maybe a bit high for the very-common 1880-S at that grade, the toning is enough to perk up the ears of toning aficionados. You'd make that up easily on resale.
