PL and DMPL/DPL Morgan Dollars and Other Issues
Ian Russell on Sat, Jun 18, 2011 10:21:13 PM
Note: DMPL and DPL are the same designation. DMPL is used by PCGS and ANACS, while NGC uses DPL.
You will see from our photographs of DMPL/DPL coins that the appearance is almost like one of a mirror, and the fields of the coin sometimes exhibit a consistent dark look. PL and DMPL/DPL coins sell for a premium over general coin issues.
More recently, both grading services assign PL and DPL grades to the popular 2009 $20 Ultra High Relief issue as well as the America the Beautiful 5 oz. Silver coins.
