1886 Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67+ DPL (NGC).

When it comes to grading by the numismatic certificate services, all other prooflike 1886 dollars can go into hiding, for this takes the cake-the sole piece graded as MS-67+ DPL, and none finer. The piece is quite attractive with deep mirror surfaces highlighted by just a whisper of heather toning. Years ago many cataloguers would have simply designated this as a Proof, but in modern times we are all more aware of die distinctions. Coins in various degrees of prooflike-ness have a market niche and rarity scale all their own.

PCGS# 97167. NGC ID: 254V.

NGC Census: 1; none finer.
