November 2017 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Seldom Offered Proof 1873 Double Eagle Rarity 1873 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Close 3. Proof-63 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This lovely Proof double eagle displays stark cameo contrast between satiny devices and mirrored fields. Both sides are fully struck with vivid golden patina that enhances already memorable eye appeal. As with all Proof Liberty Head double eagles irrespective of type or date, the 1873 is a significant numismatic rarity. This is actually one of the most elusive Proof Liberty Head double eagles with a mintage of only 25 pieces and survivors numbering no more than 10 to 12 coins. Offerings are seldom throughout in both the historic and modern numismatic markets, and a few of the survivors that have appeared at auction over the years are slightly impaired, usually due to circulation or cleaning. This is the first example that we have had the privilege of bringing to auction in recent memory. As a beautiful, Choice quality example, the significance of this offering for advanced Proof gold type or date collectors can hardly be overstated. PCGS# 99088. NGC ID: 26DS. PCGS Population: 1; 0 finer in this category. Provenance: From the Murray Hill Collection. Acquired from Stack's Bowers Galleries.
