Lot 1059
1896. PCGS graded MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Well struck and totally white. DMPL coins are regular Morgan Dollars that were struck for circulation but have unusually frosted legends and devices and very reflective, mirror-like, fields on both the obverse and reverse. There are coins that are heavy DMPL like the present 1896 example, meaning that they are very frosted/mirrored, and coins that are light DMPL, meaning they are not as thoroughly frosted/mirrored. These coins occur most frequently during the pre-1883 run of San Francisco dollars. Dates from the 1890s are much scarcer in DMPL. It is thought that only the first few dozen to hundred coins struck from brand new dies display any sort of Prooflike tendency. The DMPL ones are most sought after. Pop 19; 1 finer in 67. (PCGS # 97241) .
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
