Legend Rare Coin Auctions is honored to offer this GEM Proof 1901 double eagle. All Proof double eagles are VERY RARE, this issue had a mintage of just 96 pieces. Using a single pair of dies, listed as JD-1, considered to be low Rarity-5 (John Dannreuther estimates a total of 40-60 survive in all grades and designations, including those impounded in the ANA, ANS, and Smithsonian Institution Collections). This glorious CAMEO example is among the higher graded pieces, numerically bested by just two in the CAM designation and a single coin in the DCAM designation. Deep, beaming mirrored fields have a bold reflection. The fields have a delicate orange-peel effect that adds to the exceptional visual allure. The devices have a glossy/frosty texture that stands out against the fields with a bold contrast. The surfaces are of outstanding eye appeal, devoid of all but the most insignificant ticks, which you need a strong glass to see. The eye appeal is exceptional! Only 96 Proofs were struck. PCGS 4, NGC 4. The last PR65 CAM sold a decade ago and this coin has been off the market for even longer. There are no recent APRs for ANY grade Cameo Proof 1901 double eagle. Indeed, like all Proof double eagles, the appearance of similar dates are also very infrequent. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $130,000 and it would not be a shock at all if, in this market, that level is exceeded. Bidding will be as intense as the contrast on this GEM. Remember, the inclusion of any Proof double eagle is the mark of an advanced collector, and a GEM like this will fit nicely in any world class collection of gold, or box of twenty. Good luck! Cert.
