Conditionally Rare 1881 Dollar,
MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike

1881 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The 1881 Morgan dollar is a relatively common issue in non-prooflike condition that is, according to both Wayne Miller and Dave Bowers, much scarcer in semi-prooflike or prooflike states. Miller (1982) also says: "Although most prooflikes are more cameo than brilliant, excessive surface abrasions tend to diminish the contrast between field and devices. A cameo prooflike with minimum abrasions usually commands a runaway price." This appealing Gem is one of the latter. It is well struck and exhibits definite, if mild contrast on both sides. Just a few small marks are noted, as expected for the grade. Population: 7 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer at either service (6/08).
