This is an altogether exceptional example for this date and grade designation -- and, it is quite scarce as such, PCGS having certified just fifty nine MS66 DMPL's with a single coin graded higher. The strike is needle sharp throughout and the gleaming surfaces have been extremely well maintained. The deep glassy reflective fields are deeper than one would normally encounter with this particular date and the devices are well frosted, providing a pronounced cameo contrast. This is as nice a top flight 1885 DMPL as one is likely to locate.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. This is a very cool toned gem deep mirror prooflike Carson City dollar. It is sharply struck throughout with well preserved surfaces. The fields exhibit very deep glassy reflectivity while the devices received an ample quotient of mint frost that provides a nice cameo contrast. It was really difficult to capture the color on this coin and I'm not 100% satisfied with our image so I'll try and paint a picture with words. The obverse displays shimmering aquamarine and turquoise iridescence overall with underlying hints of olive when rotated under a coin lamp while the reverse is brilliant white. Moreover, there is some textile pattern evident in the upper half. This is a coin that looks much better in person.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. This is a premium quality coin that is boldly struck with radiant coruscating luster and surfaces that rest at the uppermost end of the grade designation. The reverse is completely engulfed in glowing luminescent toning comprised of forest green, burgundy, pink, magenta, lemon, lime, emerald, teal, azure and violet hues. Moreover, a distinct textile pattern is apparent in the field between the Eagle's left wing and the wreath. An altogether alluring coin with strong visual appeal and an ethereal, almost hypnotic quality about it. Or as the Fonz would say, cool-o-mundo.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. This lovely coin is fully struck with bright frosty mint luster and fewer flaws that one might expect given its grade designation. In other words, this is a really nice mid-range MS63 specimen. The obverse exhibits deep glowing luminescent teal and burgundy toning with subtle nuances of violet, lime-green and sky-blue thrown in for good measure. The reverse is brilliant white with a bit of ochre clinging to the periphery.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. Here's another example from this collection that was undergraded by NGC and is definitely a point better than the grade indicated on the insert. This coin is fully struck with sharp detail throughout. The vibrant surfaces are extremely clean and exhibit blazing frosty mint luster. The obverse is vividly toned beginning with neon emerald and fuchsia on the left side, which gives way to luminescent canary, apricot, tangerine, lemon and sky blue hues over the balance of the coin. The reverse is riveting blast white with a hint of lemon at the rim. A very flashy specimen with powerful visual appeal.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. To begin with, this stunning coin is perched at the uppermost end of the grade designation and would not be out of place in a MS65 holder. Bright fresh mint brilliance throughout with surfaces free of significant distractions. The obverse is aglow with scintilating lemon and pale apple green luminescence overall and a bright colorful crescent comprised of brilliant turqouise, teal, violet, magenta and crimson hues while the reverse is blast white. A premium quality specimen with strong technical and visual attributes.

The surfaces are well preserved and fresh -- further enhanced by the prescence of beautiful original color. The obverse is a glowing palette of lemon, pale apple green and sky blue iridescence overall with vivid turquoise, lavender, crimson and tangering hues covering the upper right quadrant. The reverse is blast white with a hint of amber at the rim. Uncompromising quality and excellent eye appeal without the huge Battle Creek price tag attached.

Here's a stunning coin that certainly deserves the STAR designation bestowed upon it by the graders at NGC. This lovely gem boasts truly scintilating mint luster that is at once sparkling and luminous. Moreover, the surfaces are exceptionally clean in light of the stated grade designation. However, it is the dazzling original toning that elevates this coin to an even higher level of desirability. The obverse is literally aglow with brilliant lemon, tangerine, fuchsia, violet, teal and emerald hues the culminate in deep burgundy luminescence. A thin crescent of peacock, crimson, aquamarine, lilac and amber iridescence adheres to a third of the periphery. A glowing premium quality jewel with wonderful visual prescence.

This is an altogether extraordinary deep mirror prooflike example of a date seldom found with such characteristics. As testimony to that statement, PCGS has certified a mere sixteen coins at this level with only one finer. Of the sixteen listed in the Population Report I am confident that this specimen would give any of its like graded brethren a run for their money. To begin with, it is fully struck with all of the design elements boldly articulated. The fields exhibit ultra deep reflectivity throughout while the devices are richly frosted, providing abundant cameo contrast. Moreover, the surfaces have been well maintained throughout the years. Bright white and very flashy with great eye appeal. My current sight-seen bid on the CCE/FACTS trading network stands at $5,250 and I haven't had a single coin offered to me. I suspect that even if I increase my bid by 20% or more I still may not shake any loose.

An altogether enchanting specimen that is both bright and beautiful. Although there is some striking softness in the dead center area, the brilliant coruscating luster and supremely clean surfaces help to offset any perceived defficiencies. And if that's not enough to achieve that goal, the obverse is ablaze with vibrant iridescent rainbow toning comprised of crimson, teal, violet, fuchsia, apricot, pale lime and aquamarine hues while the reverse is bright white with a touch of amber at the periphery. Superb quality and strong visual appeal.
