Elusive 1893-CC MS64 Prooflike Dollar

1893-CC $1 MS64 Prooflike NGC. The 1893-CC dollar is a popular, desirable issue owing to it being the last of the Carson City dollars. Fortunately for collectors, NGC/PCGS population reports indicate a large supply through the Select level. Prooflike examples are very elusive, however, especially in MS63 and finer.
The devices on this near-Gem Prooflike offering yield a degree of contrast with the fields over both sides. The design motifs are typically struck in that the centers are soft. Nearly untoned save for an occasional wisp of barely discernible gold color. Some scattered marks and grazes are far fewer and much less severe than typically found on the issue. Indeed, this date is nearly unobtainable above MS63 because most survivors exhibit excessive marks. Census: 1 in 64 Prooflike, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P8, N4719)
