Rare Proof 1901 Double Eagle 1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Proof-58 (PCGS). This handsome piece exhibits deep gold patina that warms to more of a golden-yellow shade as the surfaces dip into a light. The Proof qualities of this coin are readily evident despite the presence of light friction that explains the assigned grade. The fields are deeply mirrored, and the devices are sharply to fully defined with a modest satin finish from the dies. An inviting piece with a charm all its own, this coin holds considerable appeal for Proof gold type and date collectors. The Philadelphia Mint produced 96 Proof double eagles in 1901. This is one of the more frequently encountered Proofs of the type, but with an estimated population of 35 to 50 pieces in all grades, it is still rare when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics. A fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced numismatist. PCGS# 9117. NGC ID: 26EN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
