Outstanding 1878-CC Morgan
MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike

1878-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. This is an outstanding Gem that displays a high degree of field-motif contrast. The mildly frosted design features are the recipients of a powerful strike (not unusual for this issue), as evidenced by sharp delineation in the hair over Liberty's ear and on the breast feathers. Wisps of reddish-tan and cobalt-blue cling to the rim areas, a pleasing frame for essentially untoned centers. Some minute obverse milling marks preclude an even higher grade. Census: 32 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P4, N2998)
