Unimprovable 1879-CC Morgan Dollar
Gem Prooflike, None Finer at Either Service

1879-CC $1 MS65 Prooflike PCGS Secure. CAC. This remarkable Gem Prooflike 1879-CC is tied for the finest certified Prooflike example at PCGS and NGC with six other pieces at the former and five at the latter, respectively, an even dozen "submission events" at both services combined less an unknown number of likely duplicates (8/10). The silver-white surfaces are free of all but the most undistracting abrasions, and the mirrored fields set up profound contrast with the frosty-white surfaces that borders on the Deep Mirror Prooflike level. This basically untoned coin shows only a hint of color, but the eye appeal is off the charts. The first key Carson City issue, in unimprovable condition. Population: 7 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (8/10).(Registry values: P7, N7079)
