Description
1881-CC Morgan Dollar
CAC'd MS67+ Deep Mirror Prooflike
The Sole Finest DMPL Coin Known
1881-CC $1 MS67+ Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: DT
Miller. The 1881-CC is among several Carson City Morgan dollars
whose availability was almost fully shaped by the GSA sales of the
1970s. The General Services Administration released more than
147,000 examples of the date, which had been stored in original
Carson City Mint bags since the time of coinage. This was the
culmination of the famous Treasury Releases that began in the
1960s, which saw many Morgan dollar issues made suddenly plentiful
on the numismatic market.The 1881-CC, like several other Carson City dates, is today readily available in Mint State. However, the vast majority of known coins grade in the non-Prooflike category. Prooflike or Deep Mirror Prooflike coins are scarce even as fine as MS66, and they are incredible rarities at the Superb Gem grade level.
The Miller specimen is one of just two 1881-CC dollars in MS67 Deep Mirror Prooflike at PCGS, and of the two it is distinguished for its Plus designation. NGC reports three Deep Prooflike coins in this grade, none of which are Plus designated. Moreover, the Miller coin is the sole Deep Mirror Prooflike piece in this grade with CAC endorsement. Without argument, this piece is the sole finest Deep Mirror Prooflike 1881-CC Morgan dollar known (11/23) -- a distinction that makes it individual extraordinary within a date that is otherwise ordinary.
Brilliant, glistening mint frost adorns the razor-sharp central devices, while the liquidlike mirroring in the fields produces pronounced cameo contrast on each side. Close examination fails to reveal even minor abrasions of note, and the overall eye appeal fully embodies the finest attributes possible for Carson City dollars. This is one coin that is simply irreplaceable. Population: 2 in 67 (1 in 67+) Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 67, 0 finer (11/23).(Registry values: P4, N7079)
