Description
Stunning 1879-S Morgan Dollar
MS67 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1879-S $1 MS67 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. A surprising
number of Deep Mirror Prooflike examples have been designated as
such by NGC and PCGS for this second-year San Francisco Mint issue,
in grades up to and including MS65. At MS66, however, DMPLs are
scarce, and at MS67 they are rare, with just 10 such coins
certified by the two services combined. This piece is a stunning
representative, with white-on-black contrast on both sides so
intense that it will impress even the most experienced Morgan
dollar specialist. This piece is fully struck on both sides and
brilliant on the obverse, with a light coating of gold patina on
the reverse. The surfaces are well preserved and minimally marked
throughout, in keeping with the grade. A great coin in every
respect. Population: 8 in 67 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer
(3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
