November 2017 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Beautiful Choice Cameo Proof 1898 Double Eagle 1898 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Proof-63 Cameo (PCGS). A highly desirable coin that offers strong eye appeal and undeniable numismatic rarity. Fully defined with a soft satin texture, the devices contrast nicely with deeply reflective fields. Vivid medium gold patina is seen throughout, the surfaces free of significant handling marks to readily uphold the validity of the Choice rating from PCGS. The Proof 1898 double eagle has a limited mintage of 75 pieces and, in keeping with the standards of its type, is an elusive issue at all levels of preservation. We believe that no more than 50 or 55 coins are extant, which total includes the National Numismatic Collection specimen impounded in the Smithsonian Institution and a number of impaired pieces. Clearly the opportunity to acquire a technically sound and aesthetically appealing example such as this deserves the serious attention of advanced gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 89114. NGC ID: 26EK. PCGS Population: 2; 4 finer in this category (Proof-65 Cameo finest).
