Conditionally Rare 1885-S Dollar, MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike

1885-S $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. The 1885-S dollar is fairly obtainable in lower Prooflike grades, but is seldom seen as a Deep Mirror Prooflike. This is a magnificent, untoned example with lovely contrast between the fields and devices. The strike is nearly full, and there are no abrasions worthy of mention. Bowers (1993) believes that there are only 75 to 150 DMPL '85-S's, and virtually all are in lower grades than the present specimen. When this piece was last offered in our July 2002 sale, we reported that NGC and PCGS combined have certified just seven coins in MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike, with one piece finer. As of this writing (06/08), not a single additional piece has been reported in MS64 DMPL or finer by either grading service. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the few top-notch examples.
