lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 11:57 am I know it's not easy evaluating PL or DMPL from pics but I would like to know your opinions on this coin. I wish you could see what I see with the coin in hand. Looks like a very nice coin. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 6:50 pm Thanks all for reply. I tried to make a test and even if it wasn't easy and took some time but maybe I've got a great result Here a couple of pics of my test...my laptop is a 15 inch screen with height, considering laptop border, of 10.5 inches You could clearly read the word topics reversed due to reflection how I circled it on pic On the reverse you could also read it less clearly but you could see it..

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 10:34 am I think your attribution to be correct but an image of the wing gap would help lock it. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 12:29 pm The 79 S is a amoung the most common prooflike Morgans with some exceptional prooflike examples for the date. From your photos your coin appears to be prooflike and could grade MS 64 or higher. The coin has some very clean fields. I would recommend that you send the coin in for grading as there appears to be some upside. To get the DMPL tag the coin must have the 4" to 6" plus mirrors, frosty devices and a strong contrast. To say your coin is PL or DMPL from your photos is simply a guess. Edited by Slider23 09/08/2018 12:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/09/2018 1:00 pm I'd send it to PCGS, IMO. Looks MS-65 to me, definitely PL but could be DMPL. Report this Post to the Staff
