1900 $10, DCAM PR (PCGS#98840)

November 2017 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1900 Liberty Head Eagle. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This is a wholly original example with solid Choice quality to overall smooth surfaces. Fully struck with a deeply cameoed finish, both sides possess dominant medium gold patina that deepens in the reflective fields at indirect lighting angles. The edge, rims and adjacent peripheral areas exhibit vivid lilac-rose highlights that are more extensive and uniform on the reverse. Visually appealing and sure to catch the eye of discerning bidders. Popular with collectors then and now as a turn of the century issue, the 1900 has the highest mintage in the Proof Liberty Head eagle series with 120 pieces produced. Of course, that an issue with just 120 coins struck has the highest mintage for its type confirms the awesome rarity of Proof Liberty Head gold coinage as a group. Not all Proof 1900 eagles struck were sold to contemporary collectors, those that were not being destroyed in the Mint through melting. This is one of perhaps just 50 to 65 coins believed extant, and it is a coin that should have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced collection of classic gold rarities. PCGS# 98840. NGC ID: 28G7. PCGS Population: 2; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Deep Cameo finest). Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
