Description

1879 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The mirrors and frost on this outstanding Gem are equally impressive. The portrait and eagle are richly textured and silver-white, while subtle milky shadings grace parts of the eminently reflective fields. Marvelous eye appeal in every respect. Though the 1879 Morgan dollar is readily available in most grades, Gems are challenging, as are Deep Mirror Prooflike pieces. Those two factors rarely come together. This is one of just five MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike coins known to PCGS, with only one finer (6/08).
