Description
Fabulous 1879-CC Morgan Dollar
MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1879-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. The 1879-CC
Morgan dollar issue was little-represented in Treasury or GSA
releases, and with an original mintage of just over three-quarters
of a million pieces, few examples have survived in anything
approaching pristine condition. To compound the challenge for the
collector of Deep Prooflikes, Q. David Bowers writes in his
Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars that reflective depth is
at a premium for the issue, with even coins designated as Prooflike
having hazy surfaces. This Gem is a delightful exception to the
rule, reflective in the even at arm's length. Decisively detailed,
richly frosted devices supply ample contrast. A single abrasion in
Liberty's upper hair defines but does not jeopardize the grade.
Peripheral golden-brown and ocean-blue toning confirms the
originality. The lone Deep Prooflike at this level known to NGC,
with none finer (6/09).From The Bay State Collection, Part Two.(Registry values: P7, N7079)
