1883-CC $1 Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS65 Deep Prooflike (CAC)

Desirable coin in NGC's classic "Old Fatty" holder and the valuable green CAC sticker!

This is a truly stunning example, however, it is one that will not break the bank. Ron Guth writes in PCGS Coinfacts, "Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are scarce and represent about one-seventh of the total population. Both appear to be of similar rarity. Gems are readily available in these formats, too, but they are usually more expensive because of their distinctive appearance." In Deep Prooflike, NGC has graded 299 as MS65DPL with 87 finer (in DPL). In CAC, there are 95 in MS65DMPL/DPL, with 30 finer.

Silver miners at the Comstock Lode, where the silver for this coin was extracted from the earth.

Guth continues, "The 1883-CC $1 is one of the most common dates issued by the Carson City Mint. Large quantities of full bags of $1,000 face value appeared in the 1960s in U.S. Treasury vaults, accounting for most of the known population. These were distributed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by the General Services Administration, which sold individual coins to dealers and collectors.... In general, coins of this date show strong strikes and deep, frosty luster."
