Lot 1509
1891. NGC graded MS-66 Deep Prooflike. A very important deep prooflike gem dollar, which offers not only the greatest contrast seen on any Morgan dollar, but also includes exceptional surfaces. Bear in mind that gems are downright rare with this degree of reflectivity in the fields because the fields are so delicate and seemingly magnify even minor scuffs or nicks. Thus, when a gem or finer example has this depth of reflectivity, even a few bagmarks can mar the surfaces and drag the technical grade down considerably. Not so here as the surfaces are outstanding with Liberty's cheek showing virtually unbroken frost. Furthermore the fields have only a few shallow chatter marks, and this example represents the absolute finest seen of this date with the deep prooflike designation. Pop 2; none finer at NGC. Tied for the finest example graded at both services.
Estimated Value $25,000-UP.
