1880 Morgan, MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
Golden-Toned Cameo
Tied for Finest DMPL Coin at PCGS

1880 $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: DT Miller. While the branch mint issues of this date receive the majority of the attention, the 1880 Philadelphia coin is itself elusive in the upper Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflike grades. This Premium Gem is tied with just two other coins for the finest Deep Mirror Prooflike coin at PCGS; NGC also lists three Deep Prooflike coins in this grade with one finer (11/23).

Many bags of this issue were paid out by the Treasury through the 1950s, but the quality of the coins was generally poor. Most Uncirculated pieces today show moderate bagmarks. A Deep Mirror Prooflike coin in MS66 is truly something special. This piece is boldly struck and showcases stark field-motif contrast. Warm sun-gold toning deepens toward the borders where it merges with peripheral violet and ocean-blue. Population: 3 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/23).
