Incredible Deep Cameo Proof 1899 Double Eagle 1899 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Proof-60 Deep Cameo (PCGS). A magnificent survivor of this scarce Proof issue from the cusp of the 20th Century. A profoundly mirrored complexion gleams across the fields, intensely contrasting the satiny luster of the design elements. Close study will also reveal lovely orange-peel texture that is a hallmark of superior Proofs from this era. The surfaces remain well composed and only scattered and minor bagmarks are noted under a glass. Even the highest points remain free of friction or handling. Just 7 coins have been graded finer in the Deep Cameo category, asserting it as an important offering for specialists and Registry Set participants. For the year 1899 there were 84 pieces struck in Proof, of course most of those are long gone and melted down by today, with experts believing that between 30 and 35 individual Proofs exist today. Most of these show an all-brilliant complexion, lacking in any of the Cameo contrast offered here. Many are also impaired by circulation or hairlines which significantly limits the eye appeal and desirability. This problem free and incredibly attractive piece is sure to see considerable excitement when it crosses the auction block! PCGS Population: 1; 7 finer. PCGS# 99115.
