CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. The hallmark of this coin is its extraordinary flash and striking visual appeal. The strike is needle sharp and the crystal clear black mirror fields are unfathomably deep -- in fact, as deep as they can conceivably come. The devices are coated with bright snow white mint frost providing a stark black and white cameo contrast. There are scattered light abrasions in the obverse field which accounts for the grade designation -- but the sheer visual appeal will definitely knock your socks off and counter any deficiencies present. An altogether breathtaking coin.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. PCGS has certified a mere sixteen examples of this date as MS64 PL with none having been graded higher. As a side note there are but eighteen MS64 DMPL's certified with none finer. This is an undeniably rare coin in this condition and very desirable as such. It is well struck throughout and the fragile reflective surfaces reveal only minor distractions. The fields are actually quite reflective and the devices are lightly frosted rendering a distinct cameo contrast. There is a faint blush of light champagne patination present.

Although designated as a PL this coin displays deep crystal clear reflectivity throughout that is on par with many examples that are certified as DMPL's. The strike is 100% full with all of the design elements boldly impressed. The surfaces are very clean overall the devices are lightly frosted providing a distinct cameo contrast.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Another coin that I strongly disagree with PCGS in regard to the grade (and a coin that I have resubmitted on more than one occasion and may do again in the near future). This specimen is sharply struck with very well preserved surfaces. The overdate is prominent with the lower loop of the six clearly visible. The fields are very reflective and fully deserving of the prooflike designation. And speaking of its prooflike status -- this is a very scarce coin in this state of preservation as evidenced by the fact that PCGS has certified only fifty eight at this level with thirty five higher.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. To begin with this coin is NOT prooflike. What? That's right, in my opinion PCGS erred in regard to the designation. It's a full DMPL all the way and clearly superior to the majority of 1879-CC dollars currently residing in MS64 DMPL holders. This specimen is boldly struck throughout with very deep watery mirrored fields and snow white frosted devices, which provide a powerful black and white cameo contrast. A few scattered light abrasions are present which accounts for the MS64 grade designation. This coin is blast white with tremendous flash and striking visual appeal. I have resubmitted it one time for designation review and will continue to do so (unless it sells quickly) because I strongly believe that it will ultimately end up in a MS64 DMPL holder, which will increase its value (and my asking price) substantially. Simply put, this specimen would be right at home in any world-class deep mirror prooflike dollar collection.

This is a very nice high-end coin in a PCGS old green holder (OGH). It is boldly struck with very clean surfaces throughout and certainly deserves to be categorized as a premium quality example (and would definitely rank among the top 10% of its like-graded brethren). The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are well frosted rendering a pronounced cameo effect. There are scattered areas of very faint champagne patination but this coin is primarily white and very appealing.

At the very least this coin rests at the threshold of the next grade designation, but in my opinion is a legitimate candidate for crack out. It is fully struck with surfaces that rival those of the MS64 DMPL that follows. The fields are watery and clear with very deep mirrors and heavily frosted snow white devices that provide a striking cameo contrast. Tremendous flash and awesome visual appeal combined with the fact that this is truly a premium quality specimen equal exceptional value for the buyer of this coin. Moreover, ultra-deep mirror black and white cameo 1878-CC dollars are becoming extremely difficult to locate today.

I've resubmitted this coin once believing that it was a lock upgrade but PCGS didn't agree with me. I still think it's undergraded and if it doesn't sell quickly I'll try it again. Anyway, this coin is boldly struck with squeaky clean surfaces throughout. The fields are deeply reflective and the devices are lightly frosted providing a distinct contrast. There is a touch of amber coloration at the rim which serves to frame and enhance the glistening surfaces. PCGS has certified one hundred sixty five at this level with just thirty graded higher.

Wow, this psychedelic beauty is reminiscent of the fabulous Battle Creek dollars in regard to the sheer intensity and vibrancy of its spectacular coloration. It is sharply struck with well maintained surfaces that exhibit fewer imperfections than the grade would indicate. Having said that -- it is the wildly hued obverse toning that lifts this coin above the crowd. Crimson, emerald, teal, violet, fuchsia, tangerine and electrifying apricot set this coin ablaze in a kaleidoscope swirling rainbow iridescence. Moreover, this is an 1882-P -- a date you'd never expect to find with such exquisite toning. If you're building a date set of toned Morgan's this is the coin with which to fill the 1882 year slot. Over the course of thirty-four years buying and selling beautifully toned dollars -- I believe that this is the most gorgeous toned example of this issue that I have encountered.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Although graded MS64 DMPL this is one of the most eye appealing example of this scarce date that I can recall. It is boldly struck with very nice surfaces that exhibit just a smattering of small inconsequential abrasions. The crystal clear glassy fields exhibit ultra-deep reflectivity while the devices are abundantly coated with icy white mint frost providing an atypically (in regard to this date) strong cameo contrast. Very flashy with lots of pizzazz. I can assure you that you could search high and low and not find its equal in terms of sheer eye appeal for the date. Moreover, this is a genuinely scarce coin as evidenced by the fact that PCGS has certified just eighty-nine at this level with thirty-three graded higher.

A visually compelling coin and the quintessential Carson City DMPL dollar. It is sharply struck with a few grade limiting abrasions present on Liberty's chin with the balance of the coin being relatively mark-free. The dazzling brilliant fields are crystal clear and watery with ultra-deep reflectivity and snow white devices with a prominent (and highly desirable) halo effect around the eagle. An exceedingly flashy deep mirror black and white cameo prooflike -- what more is there to say?

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. If you desire the ultimate 1881-S deep mirror cameo prooflike dollar -- this is it. The technical quality and sheer visual appeal eclipse the monster PCGS MS66 DMPL I sold for $4,500 at the 2005 ANA Convention in San Francisco. And, this specimen is also better than another stunning example I recently sold to a prominent DMPL collector for a price that surpassed the $7,000 mark. Simply put (in the vernacular of today's youth) -- this coin is the bomb. It is boldly struck with wonderfully preserved brilliant surfaces. The fields exhibit ultra-deep crystal clear reflectivity throughout and dazzling snow white devices that provide a spellbinding black and white cameo contrast. One look at this exquisite coin will leave you breathless as it is the very definition of flash, eye appeal and pizzazz at the highest level. Moreover, this date is very scarce in this condition. According to the latest online population report PCGS has certified just seventy-one coins at this level with only seven finer. Of those seventy-one coins thus certified -- very few of them are ultra-deep mirror black and white cameo prooflikes. In fact I've seen five of the six MS67 DMPL's, all of which were brilliant prooflikes with very little cameo contrast. This magnificent specimen is a very rare and special coin indeed. I seriously doubt that it has many peers.
