Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Proof 1903 Double Eagle Rarity 1903 Liberty Head Double Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-58 (PCGS). CAC. An unmistakable Proof striking of the Type III Liberty Head double eagle. Deep golden-yellow color is seen on both sides. The eye appeal is considerable for a slightly impaired Proof, the surfaces retaining deep mirrored reflectivity in the fields that supports satiny design elements. Fully struck with essentially no wear, light friction and marks in the fields explain the Proof-58 grade from PCGS. At 158 coins struck the 1903 has the highest mintage of any Proof issue in this series. As with all classic U.S. Mint Proof gold, however, the 1903 double eagle is very scarce to rare at all levels of preservation. Only 80 to 100 coins are believed extant, per John W. Dannrether (2018), and we have seen estimates as low of 50 to 60 pieces in current sources (namely PCGS CoinFacts). The present example holds particular appeal in that it offers undeniable Proof qualities at a more affordable price than would be required to secure a high grade example of this issue. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. CAC Population: 8 in all grades and all categories. PCGS# 9119. NGC ID: 26ER. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
