Description
Charming 1878 7/8TF Weak, MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1878 7/8TF $1 Weak MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Although worth roughly the same as other 1878 varieties in circulated conditions, the 7 over 8 tailfeather variety easily outshines the others in better Uncirculated grades. This can be attributed to the relative scarcity of the 7 over 8 in grades approaching Gem. In fact, NGC has certified no DMPL examples in 64 or finer, while PCGS reports just four pieces in higher grades (06/08). A splash of light russet toning is visible near the rim, but the rest of this example is thoroughly untoned. The eye-catching, highly reflective fields sharply contrast against the ivory central design elements. Scattered bagmarks pepper the reverse, but the obverse appears surprisingly unmarked. An excellent example of this popular first-year variety.From the "A Gift of Undeserved Favor" Collection.(Registry values: P5)
