Next Addition to the Prooflike Morgans

sweetwilliet · April 30, 2008 10:16AM

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.

That is a great date to pick up in any grade.

Congrats on the coin. Sweet.

Very nice '79-cc you've got there. I need one of those.

Very, very nice.
I'm jealous.

Thanks all. Brian, post your new pick-ups when you get a chance. I really want to see 'em.

Fantastic coin for the grade. Good eye/patience.

Very nice! I wonder what DMPL looks like these days.

Newcomp103 · April 30, 2008 11:12PM

Looks quite strong for a 62 from what I can see in those pics.

eyoung429 · May 1, 2008 1:42AM

Excellent coin!!!! very strong for the grade!

SkyMan · May 1, 2008 2:23AM

Lovely looking coin! Congrats on the pickup.

Nice looker.

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.

Wow

SeattleSlammer · May 1, 2008 6:55AM

your pics certainly make it look DMPL.....I agree that those look like mighty strong PL mirrors

anablep · May 1, 2008 8:10AM

Great coin, great date, nice PL. Just fantastic...

dizzlecc · May 2, 2008 12:54PM

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.

Hadleydog · May 2, 2008 4:13PM

That's a sweet coin for a '79-cc, very nice!
