Description
1879-CC MS 63 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Perfect, unrusted mintmark. Lightly toned in gold, with frosty white centers floating in a sea of watery, prooflike surfaces. A few light abrasions and marks are noted on either side, but all are consistent with the grade. This date is rare in mint state, rarer as a prooflike, and even rarer as a DMPL. Not surprisingly, the Capped (or rusted) variety is rarer in DMPL; the rusted mintmark implies a later state of the dies when the prooflike surfaces would have been worn off in the striking process.
