A Proof Like is the 1st few coins struck on a new coin die. The dies are highly polished and typically strike tens of thousands of coins each. The polish and strike give the appearance of a "proof coin." These proof likes are viewed as the finest type of regular issued coins. This 1879 Morgan Dollar is in proof like condition from the U.S. Mint and from the San Francisco Mint. It is encapsulated and presented in a display box.
