1887-O Morgan Dollar, MS65+
Rare Deep Mirror Prooflike Example

1887-O $1 MS65+ Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. The New Orleans Mint struck a smallish mintage of 1.7 million Morgan dollars in 1887 and survivors are seldom found in the higher reaches of Mint State. It seems the coins that were not released into circulation were roughly stored and transported from one government vault to another over the years, resulting in heavily bagmarked surfaces on most examples seen. Although some high-quality examples turned up in the Redfield Hoard, few survivors are known with Prooflike or Deep Mirror Prooflike designations.

The present coin is a spectacular Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved, brilliant surfaces throughout. The fields exhibit deep prooflike reflectivity on both sides. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 10 in 65 (3 in 65+) Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer. CAC: 3 in 65, 0 finer (3/20).(Registry values: P5, N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2552, PCGS# 97177, Greysheet# 7744)
