I have an AU DMPL dollar in an ANACS holder (small old white), it's toned very dark now, but when I first picked it up it was spectacular, though a bit hairlined. Can't remember the date offhand, but it's an 1890's dated New Orleans, generally a really rare coin to find in DMPL. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

If you have or can get a picture of it would be really cool to see it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

KK Allow me to show you a good example of the difference and why it matters to me and many others. I present a pair of 2019 P&D Kennedy half dollars. The Philly issue is a typical, MS business strike. The Denver is a different animal altogether. It looks markedly different. The coin is super brilliant with a glossy finish, like liquid metal. The PL Denver issues for 2019 remind me of the SMS coins of the late 1960s Special Mint sets. I LOVE the liquid metal look of those "hybrid" coins. Check out the difference: Here they are under the Canon. The PL Denver KHD was tricky to light. It's so darn reflective that I had to use 3 layers of diffusion to tone down the brightness. Even then, it still had that glow effect that I'm particularly fond of. With my non-axial lighting setup, PL coins always turn out dark with white highlights. Even TrueViews for PL 2019-Ds are very dark. Here's the link for the TrueView image of my 2019-D PCGS MS67+PL. Love this coin. It's the plate image on CoinFacts too- nice! https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...pl/704876/67 Edited by Darth Morgan 06/30/2019 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Next time I go to the bank deposit box, I'll try and remember to pull it out for a photo session, mind you it sure didn't look as nice as it did when I got, from the last time I saw it, the toning was going very dark brown, and covering the coin, but the DMPL designation was surprising to me, I had just read Dox's book and Highfill's encyclopedia so was very interested in DMPL dollars that had low known quantities, grading was a pretty new thing, this was around mid 80's so PCGS & NGC had just started up. Population reports weren't even a thing yet, back then. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

I'm not sure if that's going to change tomorrow or not but it sounds like it might as it really would just impact 58s Report this Post to the Staff
