Description
Rarely Seen 1885-S Morgan 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 and in high grade. 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 1885-S dollars, and virtually all are in lower
grades than the present specimen. When this piece was offered in
our July 2002 sale, we reported that NGC and PCGS combined had
certified just seven coins in MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike, with one
piece finer. Not a single additional piece has been added in MS64
DMPL or finer by either grading service since then (4/09). This is
an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the few top-notch
examples.(Registry values: P5, N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 254U, PCGS# 97165, GSID# 7739)
