- Rare Proof 1905 $20 Gold 1905 Liberty Head Double Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4+. Proof-62 (PCGS). Beautiful Proof surfaces are dressed in vivid medium gold color that gives way to deep honey-olive undertones as the coin rotates away from direct lighting. Although not designated as such by PCGS, we cannot deny a modestly cameoed finish that contrasts satiny motifs against deeply mirrored, highly reflective fields. Wispy handling marks do little more than define the grade, and none are worthy of individual attention. Our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding, the 1905 double eagle is a rare coin in this format, as are all classic U.S. Mint Proof gold issues. If the NGC Proof-64 in the preceding lot proves elusive, this PCGS Proof-62 would make an excellent alternative. PCGS# 9121. NGC ID: 26ET. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
