- Choice Proof 1900 Double Eagle 1900 Liberty Double Eagle. Proof-64 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This is a beautiful Proof double eagle with all the trappings of a full Gem grade. Both sides are overall smooth and virtually free of even trivial signs of handling. Vivid orange-gold patina blankets surfaces that are boldly contrasted between satiny devices and watery, deeply mirrored fields. Fully struck throughout, and also possessing the desirable "orange peel" texture to the finish in the fields. The Proof 1900 double eagle was produced to the extent of 124 coins, a limited total by the standards of the modern U.S. Mint but actually a rather generous figure in the context of the classic Proof Liberty gold series. Even so, the 1900 is a rare find in today's market, with Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2008) allowing for only 50 or so survivors in all grades. With many of those coins impaired due to mishandling, expertly preserved and attractive pieces, as here, are particularly elusive. Highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced type, date or specialized collection. PCGS# 89116. Provenance: From the RLS Collection. PCGS Population: just 2; with a lone Proof-65 Cameo finer in this category.
