- 1906 Liberty Head Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-55 (PCGS). CAC.
A very pretty piece at the assigned grade level. Vivid deep gold surfaces support full striking detail and well mirrored fields. The design elements are more satiny in texture, and there is some semblance of a cameo finish. None of the wispy, grade-defining marks are singularly distracting. The Philadelphia Mint struck 77 Proof eagles in 1906. Not all of these specimens sold to contemporary collectors, however, and after the Mint's melting of some undistributed examples and the release of others into commercial channels, John W. Dannreuther (2018) accounts for an extant population of only 45 to 55 coins. This is a fortunate survivor of the latter group, a coin that appears to have spent decades in a bag with circulation strike coins, but retains nearly full Proof qualities and also possesses original surfaces and relatively strong eye appeal. An interesting offering for the advanced gold enthusiast.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
PCGS# 8846. NGC ID: 28GD.
