详细说明: Extraordinary Gem Proof 1899 Double Eagle Tied for Top Pop in PCGS Deep Cameo 1899 Liberty Head Double Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-65 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Vivid reddish-gold surfaces reveal wisps of equally attractive powder blue and pale pink iridescence here and there around the peripheries as the coin rotates under a light. Mirrored fields support satiny design elements, the contrast expectably strong for the coveted DCAM designation from PCGS. Full striking detail and careful surface preservation further enhance the desirability of this captivating specimen. A total of 84 double eagle were struck in Proof format for this year, and doubtless fewer remain today with estimates of 30 to 40 known and 40 to 55 extant from PCGS CoinFactsand John W. Dannreuther (2018), respectively. Deep Cameo pieces such as this are the most desirable of course, as they offer the greatest contrast and strongest eye appeal. Indeed, these rare gold Proofs are certainly the caviar of numismatics, as they offer such dramatic contrast and are so entirely different from the circulation strikes of this popular design type. Combined with their rarity, they make for an irresistible numismatic prize. Provenance: From the Castle Pines Collection. PCGS Population: 4; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 99115. NGC ID: 26EL.
