Nicely Mirrored 1885-CC Dollar, MS66 Prooflike

1885-CC $1 MS66 Prooflike NGC. Fortunate collectors of such high-grade issues as the present piece, even if they are too young to remember them, may attribute their existence to the General Services Administration releases of (mostly) CC dollars in the 1970s, where many thousands of 1885-CC dollars were sold--65% of the original mintage. The mega numbers of survivors notwithstanding, few indeed approach the state of preservation of the present lovely example. The surfaces are untoned and essentially distraction-free, but the mirrors are somewhat shallow, contrasting well against thickly frosted devices. Census: 22 in 66 Prooflike, 3 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P4, N1793)
