Can't an experienced photo editor 'make' that kind of photo by combining several pics? 20 inches of reflectivity?!!

It is a pity that DMPL's are subject to damage like any other coin, and have to be graded like any other coin.
I don't mind the wizardry here, even if it ain't true.
We can still wish.

I agree to an extent -- I'd love to own a DMPL that looked like OP's.

These images show the effects of turning on the contrast tool to the max. The brightness was probably increased to some degree as well. Just like in the photo below, adjustments can be made to make a stunning cameo coin. This 1974-S proof Ike dollar was originally an image from Dave Enders. I edited the image to create an extreme cameo effect that has the appearance of an almost perfect DMPL. Notice how the contrast is extreme between black and white/silver just like it is in the above Morgan dollar images?   I love these images, but I know they are artificial. The coin would not appear like this naturally to the human eye. It's more like numismatic digital art. Edited by Darth Morgan

What? No guessing White Paint? Such coins do exist, but there has been white adjustment on the centers with contrast doubled at the design element edges.

When you do get DMPL you really pay out the AZZ for them. Village Coin shop in Tampa was selling a 1885CC in MS63 that was DMPL and they wanted $900. They were selling an 1885CC in MS64 for $800. Both coins were graded and slabbed. Apart from these coins I think Village Coin shop are thieves without masks. I went to their website and read testimonials. It was piled on deep but still stank.

Not my coin. Photo was from an ebay listing. Before I buy any DMPL's, I hope to get the most info & opinions as possible. Apparently, some people are polishing the fields of Morgans to create the mirrored effect. How can we be sure ? |

Coins like this (OP coin) only exist in fairy tales. Go look at DMPL Morgans on Heritage and Great collections if you want to get a feel for what they should look like.

If you buy the coin slabbed and graded it should declare the coin is DMPL. The coin the Village People tried to sell me was slabbed and had notation of DMPL on it. It looked DMPL, but so what? Am I going to pay a couple of hundred more for it?

There are sellers with a lot of these. I wouldn't want to buy an ordinary coin that has been polished for the prices they ask.

Post ones you like and might buy and we will vet them for you. Best to buy PCGS slabbed but in recent dmpl holders though as today's standards are strict. True dmpl's being sold raw usually have hairlines or some other feature that would give it a details grade which is why they are raw
