I'm not sure if you're looking to purchase or already own this and looking to flip it. It's an older generation holder from back in the day when PL and DMPL criteria were a bit looser so it may not be a true DMPL coin at today's standards. If you are considering to purchase check the depth of the reflectivity yourself. You should be able to read print clearly from 6" on both obverse and reverse fields with no interruption.

Thanks Dave, I purchased today for what I believe was a good deal and I can read print from 6 inches away using both the obverse and reverse sides. Looks like these have sold for $1600+ on ebay and the PCGS registry for this exact coin has it valued at $1550 and I gave $1255 for it. Maybe keeping it for a while but looking to see if it still is as advertised by the grade and what's it's potentially worth. Edited by Crhnewbie

64 seems high for me based on the obverse which looks closer to 62 than 63.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Don't even think of busting that out. If anything, it's slightly over graded already.
Still a good buy at that price.

Grade appears correct to me and maybe a bit generous. I wouldn't crack it.

I cannot see this making MS-64. Maybe MS-63 DMPL, but that is the highest I would go.

The cheek and neck look to be pretty banged up. Nice looking mirrors-I would call it DMPL. I wouldn't put too much validity in PCGS's price guide. Take a look at prices realized to get a better idea of the value (what the coin has sold for). You can go to Heritage's website and find what this coin has sold for dating back several years up to the present. These prices reflect a buyers fee of 15% to 17.5%. In my personal opinion, a properly graded 1885-CC MS64 DMPL, would be a decent buy at $1200 to $1300. If a coin appeals to you, and you feel you have paid a fair price, that is all that matters.

That's an amazing coin. DMPL is accurate. It is worth a premium in the Old Green Holder (OGH), leave it alone!
It will not upgrade, but it is solid in the grade at 64 and might get a CAC green bean.
This is a less common date CC, especially in DMPL, and it will bring strong money on the market, especially in the OGH. $1250 is purchased below market IMO, and an attractive and solid buy.

MS-64DMPL. I agree with the others, leave it in it's current slab.
