If the requirement for DMPL is being after to read the reflection of a newspaper 3 inches away or whatever it is would these 2 qualify ?

It looks like they were wrapped in some sort of paper that had printing on it which then caused the coins to tone around the ink or that is at least my best guess.

So I guess these 2 would be poor mans DMPL.

The writing is easier to see in real life than the pics show.

Interesting. These should encourage collectors NOT to wrap coins in printed paper for storage since many would consider the print toning to be a defect.

Obviously you won't have DMPL reflectivity on well-circulated coins. Actually, I've never heard of Barber or Walking Lib halves getting a DMPL designation. You can find Barber proofs in CAM and DCAM quality, and very rarely a cameo proof Walker appears. I presume that whatever die preparation process generated all those DMPL Morgan dollars was never used for Barber and Walker production.
