1895 $10 PR (PCGS#8835)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1895 Liberty Head Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-6. Proof-60 (PCGS). CAC. A fully original, undeniable Proof striking of this impressive ten-dollar gold design type. The fields retain bright reflectivity despite the presence of wispy grade-defining marks. The devices are somewhat smoother in appearance, and they exhibit razor sharp striking detail as well as a softly frosted texture. The entire coin offers warm honey-orange color that enhances the eye appeal. The Philadelphia Mint delivered 66 Proof 1895 eagles for distribution as part of the year's Proof sets. It seems that no more than half the mintage was actually distributed in that manner, however, since John W. Dannreuther (2018) accounts for just 22 to 26 survivors in all grades. The offered coin appears to be an unsold specimen that the Mint disposed of, paying it out for use in commercial channels. It is every bit as rare as its finer-certified brethren, and would make an interesting and noteworthy addition to any cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 8835.
