Description
Conditionally Scarce 1878-S Dollar,
MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1878-S $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This is a truly
lovely Gem that exemplifies impressive quality in a Deep Mirror
Prooflike piece from the first San Francisco Mint Morgan dollar
issue. Wayne Miller (1982) commented that "the 1878-S is readily
available in prooflike condition," but it seems clear that deeply
prooflike examples, such as the current specimen, are conditionally
scarce at the MS65 grade level or finer. This coin is well struck
with lovely, light natural toning and minimal marks on each side.
The fields display profound depths of watery reflectivity, and the
central devices are sharply frosted. Population: 15 in 65 Deep
Mirror Prooflike, 3 finer (6/08).From the "A Gift of Undeserved Favor" Collection.(Registry values: P2, N1793)
