Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:06 pm I see where there's another Proof Like thread floating on the forum right now, but am curious about this one. It's one of the cleanest, shiniest Morgans I've ever gotten. Can ya'll please comment on PL / DMPL? Photos taken with camera phone, so perhaps not good enough.... Report this Post to the Staff

easj3699 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:16 pm i THINK the rule is if you can read a newspaper within 4 inches of its reflection. but that is purely of what I've been told Report this Post to the Staff

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 11:02 pm I have never heard of a UPL. NGC does DPL which is Deep Prooflike which is basically DMPL. PCGS does DMPL. Both also do PL. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 11:38 pm I think ANACS is the only one to have used something similar to UPL. I believe on their holders it was labeled as UDM and the criteria was at least 12". The coin seems to be somewhat reflective but I am not sure if it's enough to get a PL.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 1:41 pm Looks like a great looking BU coin but I do not see the reflectivity of the coin needed from the photographs to say if its PL or not. Judging by the photographs I am thinking its not but it can be tough to get shots that show reflectivity of the coin so I am just going by what I see right now Report this Post to the Staff
