Description
Sharply Struck 1887 Dollar
MS67 Prooflike
1887 $1 MS67 Prooflike PCGS. Ex: Dier/California Collection.
The 1887 records one of the highest mintages in the Morgan dollar
series (20.290 million pieces). Mint State coins are abundant,
right through the MS66 level. Even prooflike coins are readily
available, at least through the MS65 grade level. PCGS and NGC have
seen fewer than 80 Premium Gem Prooflike specimens, however, and a
mere eight in MS67, and none finer.The Superb Gem Prooflike example in the this sale displays prominent field-motif contrast, slightly more so on the reverse. A well executed strike delivers crisp definition to the design elements, including the hair over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. Both sides are essentially untoned and impeccably preserved. Population: 3 in 67 Prooflike, 0 finer (6/08).
