1880 CC Morgan Dollar MS61 DMPL PCGS VAM 3

This 1880 CC Morgan Dollar certified MS61 DMPL by PCGS represents a remarkable specimen within the Carson City series. The DMPL (Deep Mirror Proof-Like) designation indicates exceptionally reflective mirror fields with deeply frosted design elements—the most dramatic proof-like aesthetic available in business-strike coinage. The MS61 grade reflects uncirculated preservation with original mint luster and light surface marks consistent with careful handling. The contrast between the mirror fields and frosted devices creates striking visual appeal and exceptional eye appeal uncommon in standard Morgan dollars. Carson City dollars command substantial collector premiums due to limited mintage and historical prominence. The combination of desirable Carson City coinage, uncirculated status, and exceptional deep mirror proof-like surfaces creates an outstanding specimen for collectors seeking distinctive aesthetic qualities and superior eye appeal. This coin appeals to advanced numismatists pursuing premium examples with exceptional reflective characteristics and those valuing the dramatic visual contrast inherent to deep mirror proof-like designations.
VAM 3 indicates there is a dash under the 8 in the date.
