1878 7/8 TF Strong $1 MS64 DMPL PCGS

Click here to go back There is no doubt in my mind that this coin resides among the top five or six examples of deep mirror prooflike 1878 7/8 TF Strong dollars certified by PCGS. In fact, in my humble opinion this coin is superior to the Jack Lee MS65 DMPL (a coin I've had in my hand on a number of occasion -- and one that I sincerely believe to be over-graded). This specimen is boldly struck with well maintained surfaces that exhibit but a few minor luster grazes and tiny abrasions. The fields are watery with ultra-deep reflectivity throughout and thickly frosted creamy devices that provide a strong cameo effect. There is a slight trace of haziness present, but in no way does it diminish the sheer depth of the mirror fields. Although the PCGS census reports thirty-four graded at this level with two finer -- I believe that figure to be skewed to the high side due to crackouts and resubmissions. This is a genuinely rare coin and it's quality is such that I believe has few peers. Price: $6,950.00  Add to your coin requests           Go Back
