详细说明: Impressive Choice Proof 1905 Double Eagle 1905 Liberty Head Double Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4+. Proof-64 (NGC). A boldly reflective specimen that comes remarkably close to a Gem designation, at least in our opinion. The deep yellow-gold surfaces exhibit a hint of frost on the devices when viewed in a bright light. Absolutely choice for the assigned grade and worthy of lively bidding activity. Roughly two-thirds of the 92 Proof double eagles struck in 1905 are known today (John W. Dannreuther, 2018, allows for a range of 50 to 65 survivors). Proof double eagles were costly to acquire and retain even at the time of production, and several examples went unsold at year's end and were later melted or released into commercial channels. Many survivors, indeed, are impaired from mishandling, which fact highlights the significance of this carefully preserved Choice survivor. Of further importance to the Proof 1905 as an issue is the fact that the circulation strike 1905 double eagle is a key date issue that is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades. NGC Census: 7; with a single Proof-65 finer in this category. PCGS# 9121. NGC ID: 26ET. Click here for certification details from NGC. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
