详细说明

A fully brilliant and white coin that offers both a bold strike and exceptional preservation. Deep Mirror Prooflike coins were likely the first struck with a fresh, new die pair, and many dates offer few if any of these prized coins. Thankfully for collectors today, the Carson City Mint tended to make a lot of these, but downright few exist at the gem or finer level. PCGS has graded 38 pieces at most in all grades with this desirable designation, and this is one of the finer examples. Notice how clean Miss Liberty’s cheek is, only a few minor scuffs are present, and the delicate fields resound with freshness. A powerful example for the most advanced collection! This variation includes the overdate feature placed high. Notice the second 8 in the date and when closely examining that digit a faint 7 is seen below within the loops of the 8 with the tail of the 7 sticking out just below the bottom loop. Other overdates are similar of this issue, but the 7 in placed lower under the 8, and hence the differentiation. The CC mintmark is small and compact, with each of the C’s closed completely at the center, forming what appears to be OO with serifs on the upper right! PCGS 9, NGC 1. This is only “+” coin graded by PCGS and topped by just two MS66 DMPL coins noted in their Population Report. As such this is one of the absolute finest known of this scarce issue and should attract the attention of astute collectors. This coin is being sold with no reserve.
