Hello all, I just located this Beautiful 1880S. It appears to be a Proof like or a Deep Mirror Proof Like. I have been thinking about sending this one in for grading. What do you all think, What MS Grade would you give this Beautiful Morgan. This is girl if frosty! Thanks for your input. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***  "LOVE THE HUNT!"

Not very good pics to tell. BUT, DMPL and PL dollars are designated by the reflectivity of the fields not the frosted devices. By the pictures supplied the fields of the coin do not look very reflective.

64 with a semi pl appearance to my old eyes.

How about removing it from the 2X2 and taking new pictures?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I'll guess MS-63. Although better images with the coin not in the 2x2 would help.
Errers and Varietys.

PCGS designates Prooflike for coins that grade MS60 or better and show clear reflectivity, i.e. mirrored surfaces at a distance of two to four inches. |

MS-63 not PL. Perhaps the obverse is semi PL but the reverse looks to have regular frost. They won't designate PL or DMPL based on a single side, it needs both sides to have contrast.

I think I could get a PL if I sent it in to be graded Then send it in and find out! |

Solid MS-63 to MS-64 example. Might be PL. For a Morgan dollar to be considered Prooflike (PL), it must have a mirrored surface that reflects at a distance of 2 to 4 inches. You can check this for both sides with a ruler. |

Attractive example. I think you will be disappointed if you send this one in. I see this as a MS-64, maybe gets a * from NGC. Not worth the cost unless you are sending other coins in.
