Well, only a few more coins to add until I complete the prooflike portion of my set (then there remains the non-pl's to get for the pl set). I just got this one in the mail today, and am happy with it. The coin has strong mirrors for just a pl, some cameo contrast, and a small amount of marks for the grade. Just posted her to share with the group.

    Very nice CC and a tought date (dollar wise) in anything above 60!
    PL's are common but searching is required to locate one that is not an
    arm and a knee.

    Thanks for the comments. It is strong for the grade, the reverse is 64/65. The limiting marks are in the left hand fields on the obverse (you can see if you look hard, by the E and P and in front of liberty's neck) and the face/cheek. There are no major marks, but moderate scattered light marks. This coin would not be out of place in a 63 holder, but I can see why PCGS graded it a 62. Doesn't matter too much right now, as it has joined my collection, probably for a long time.

    Whoa, strong coin with great mirrors. Nice addition.

    When I first say the obverse I thought it was a dmpl 1879 P mint.
    Then I got to the reverse and saw the CC, even more impressive.
