Stellar Gem Proof 1906 Eagle 1906 Liberty Head Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. Here is a wonderfully original, expertly preserved Proof example of the Motto Liberty Head eagle design type. The finish is in keeping with the method of manufacture that the United States Mint used for these special coins from 1902 through 1907, with both sides universally reflective. The surfaces offer deep, vivid reddish-gold patina, with a few blushes of pale silvery tinting also evident on the obverse. Fully struck with razor sharp detail to even the most intricate design elements, this incredible example will please any advanced gold enthusiast. The Philadelphia Mint struck 77 Proof eagles in 1906, John W. Dannreuther (United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, 2018) reporting the deliveries as: -March 28: 34 coins -June 30: 25 coins -September 25: 4 coins -December 29: 14 coins Not all of these specimens sold to contemporary collectors, however, and after the Mint's melting of undistributed examples and other sources of attrition, Dannreuther accounts for an extant population of only 45 to 55 coins. This is actually one of the more generous totals in the Proof Liberty Head eagle series, testament to the great rarity of these coins are a group. Finer than most, this upper end Gem was Larry H. Miller's choice to represent the Liberty Head eagle with Motto in his type set, and will be perfect for another advanced cabinet. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 4; 2 finer in this category (Proof-66+ finest). CAC Population: 1; 1 (Proof-66). PCGS# 8846. NGC ID: 28GD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
