MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1897 Morgan Dollar
Tied for Finest Certified

1897 $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: Naples II. Although we have offered quite a number of Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike examples of this available (but conditionally elusive) date in our past auctions, this is the first time we have ever had the privilege of handling a Premium Gem 1897 with Deep Mirror Prooflike certification. That is not totally surprising, as the present piece is one of only two so graded at PCGS, and there are none finer there, nor at NGC (6/09).
As expected, this brilliant silver-white piece offers blindingly radiant fields and thick mint frost on the devices. Even for a Premium Gem coin, the surfaces are quite appealing and essentially pristine. The strike is excellent, further contributing to the obvious, over-the-top eye appeal. This is the first auction appearance of an example in this grade in a decade, as far as we can determine, and the other coin so certified must be in equally strong hands.
Ex: Stack's (10/1999), lot 435.
