***Auction Highlight*** 1879-p Near TOP POP! Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms65+ DMPL By SEGS. This remarkable strike rarity is sure to appeal to advanced collectors of prooflike Morgan dollars. Satiny in texture with razor sharp definition, the devices appear to float atop the reflective fields. Both sides are fully brilliant and expertly preserved allowing ready appreciation of this bold cameo contrast.Certainly obtainable in an absolute sense, the 1879 is surprisingly scarce with a DMPL/DPL designation Indeed, many prooflike examples are reflective on only one side of the coin, usually the obverse, and the fields tend to be "cloudy" with limited depth to the reflectivity. Writing in the 1993 reference Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia, however, Q. David Bowers references a small group of high quality cameo prooflike 1879 dollars that entered the numismatic market in 1977 through a San Francisco dealer. The number of coins involved in that dispersal was apparently limited, and they have long since been absorbed by the market. We do not know if the present example was part of that group, but it is certainly an exceptionally well produced and fully deep mirror prooflike. Beautiful and conditionally rare, and worthy of strong bids. A Key Date's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
