1885-CC Morgan, MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
Stark White-on-Black Cameo Contrast

1885-CC $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The 1885-CC is a popular Carson City date with a mintage of only 228,000 pieces. Prior to the GSA sales of the 1970s, this date was scarce in any grade. Since the GSA sales, however, examples are plentiful in most grades. An exception to that is the MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike grade, where only several dozen pieces are reported. Finer DMPL coins are major rarities. This piece is brilliant and well struck. Only a few small marks in the left obverse field are worthy of mention. The white-on-black cameo contrast is dramatic on both sides. Population: 54 in 66 (9 in 66+) Deep Mirror Prooflike, 2 finer (11/20).(Registry values: P4, N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 254S, PCGS# 97161, Greysheet# 7737)

Weight: 26.73 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
