Beautiful coins everyone! I love the proof, the cc DMPL, the UDM.
I'm torn between getting an MS62DMPL vs a MS65PL. Both are similar prices but I want one standout piece and cannot decide.

The typical MS62 DMPL is not going to be a wow coin as a DMPL shows every distracting bag mark. Without seeing the coins, you will most likely be happier with the MS65 PL. If the 65PL has contrast and strong mirrors, it should be a nice looking coin. If the mirrors are cloudy or look weak, pass on the coin.

65PL over 62DMPL for sure

Here's some more shots of my proof Morgan to show that it does, in fact, have a mirror finish:   |

Let's talk about actual coins then. Option #1 - ms64PL - $180   Option #2 - MS62DMPL - $180   Option #3 - MS62DMPL - $170   Option #4 - MS65PL - $260   I think option #2 looks nice and #4 but I have no where as close to as much experience as you all so I'll ask for your input. Out of curiosity, what is the entry price to a proof Morgan? |

#1, large carbon spot on reverse, some clouds in mirrors, a little baggy for a 64, but the coin does have good contrast.
#2, Coin does not have good contrast for a DMPL and soft on frosty details. Typical bag marks for 62.
#3, good contrast, very baggy.
#4, Coin has some finger prints and not much contrast.
It is not easy to find a good one. Keep looking.

Here is an example of the type of coin that you should be looking for. The coin has good contrast. The bag marks on cheek and fields are per grade. Would the coin earn a CAC sticker? I would say no because the cheek may be a little baggy for CAC. 332068326343 Edited by Slider23

i skimmed through ebay listings and found examples up to your price range that I would be most interested in if I was in your situation. this coin is overall a pleasing example....the mirrors are strong and the contrast is good. the coin is in my opinion, ok or nice for the grade. despite the cheek and eye brow hits, there is not too much field chatter and not a lot of rub on the cheek and eagle, which can be seen on many MS63 Morgans, especially on PL and DMPL coins. on top of that, the strike is outstanding. so although the coin has those 2 larger sized hits I noted above, it is still a visually pleasing coin and a strong DMPL. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1886-Silver...AOSwn7JYC8tEthis next coin is $44 over your budget, but a best offer option is available. the coin is not as mirrored as the above DMPL and may actually be closer to PL but it is still nicely struck and very visually appealing, with soft luster and a very present cameo contrast. it is also in a very early holder and would quite possibly grade MS63+ or MS64 if resubmitted http://www.ebay.com/itm/OLD-RATTLER...AOSwzaJX5Zq9which would I choose? personally i'd go with the DMPL..if you want a strong cameo coin resembling a proof, it is definitely the way to go. also notice the amount watching the DMPL compared to how many people are watching the second example..

That first one is a winner! I wouldn't trust a rattler dmpl to be dmpl to todays standards without seeing it in hand. Not to say it isn't though

Cool. I have an 83cc in 62PL I've been thinking of letting go if you want a PL (and CC) example to go with your DMPL. Nice choice  |
