Finest Certified 1883-CC Dollar, MS67 DMPL

1883-CC $1 MS67 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. A constant in numismatics is that every series has issues that are considered common dates. While this 1883-CC dollar is not a common date among all Morgan dollars, it is one of the most common dates among Carson City Mint Morgan silver dollars. What is not common about this is the quality. Nearly all Mint State CC dollars surviving today are from the GSA sales of the 1970s, or from the earlier Treasury release. These coins were stored in Treasury vaults since the time of issue and were stored in cloth bags. Each year, an inventory was required, an enormous task. Every time an inventory was taken, these bags were moved and shuffled, creating bagmarks on the surface of each individual coin. Very few of the coins in those mint bags remained in pristine condition. Examples exceeding the Gem MS65 grade are seldom seen today, and in Superb Gem quality, these coins are major rarities, regardless of the date. This example is fully brilliant with snow white surfaces and satin luster. The fields are deeply mirrored with highly lustrous devices. These surfaces are nearly pristine. Only four examples have met this grade level, combining the certification of both PCGS and NGC.(#97145) (Registry values: P2, N7079)
