December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Vivid Choice Proof 1901 Eagle 1901 Liberty Head Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5-. Proof-63+ Cameo (NGC). Beautiful deep orange-gold patina blankets both sides of this scarce and inviting Proof Liberty Head eagle. Sharply to fully struck, both sides also exhibit a boldly cameoed finish with good contrast between the fields and design elements. Free of singularly mentionable handling marks with superior quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade. The United States Mint struck 85 Proof eagles in 1901, the coins delivered in four batches from March 26 to December 30. John W. Dannreuther (2018) observes: "This is the last year that the second Philadelphia Mint struck Proof coinage. In October of this year, the third facility was occupied and the production of Proofs was moved into the new medal room." Given the delivery dates, it would seem that Proof 1901 eagles were struck in both facilities. With only 45 to 55 coins believed extant, this is an obviously scarce issue any offering of which represents a fleeting opportunity for advanced gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 88841. NGC ID: 28G8.
