Morgan Dollars
1891-S $1 MS65 Deep Prooflike NGC. Although survivors of this popular issue can often display prooflike tendencies or one-sided DMPL qualities, pieces that qualify as a full Deep Mirror Prooflike are far less numerous. Bring into the equation this issue's greatest nemesis, bagmarks, and a cast of thousands suddenly dwindles down to only a handful of Gems. The surfaces on this glittering, untoned example have even reflectivity from side to side and show only a few widely scattered marks. Census: 7 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (10/16).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 7617; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 3126.
