Description
Single Finest-Graded Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem
1879-S Morgan Dollar, Reverse of 1878
1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. A
Top 100 Variety. This is a lovely coin with stark contrast between
the frosted devices and the dark, watery fields. The design
elements are sharply struck, as usual for this well produced issue
from the San Francisco Mint. Numerous vertical die striations
increase the flashy visual quality of the reverse. Miller (1982)
states that the '79-S dollars are among the most common of all "S"
mint coins in prooflike condition, but this is the only Reverse of
1878 example that NGC has certified as a Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem,
as of (6/08). PCGS has yet to grade any Deep Mirror Prooflike
example also designated as having the Reverse of 1878.From the "A Gift of Undeserved Favor" Collection.(Registry values: P5, N7079)
