Losbeschreibung

1907 Liberty Double Eagle. Proof-61 Cameo (PCGS). The final year of the long running Liberty double eagle series witnessed a delivery of just 78 proofs from the Philadelphia Mint. Without approximately 40-50 coins extant in all grades, this is an obviously scarce issue in an absolute sense, and examples are often absent from even the largest numismatic gatherings. This is unmistakable proof striking, both sides fully defined with a deeply mirrored, highly reflective finish in the fields. Closer inspection with a loupe also reveals a decided "orange peel" texture in the fields, this despite overall scuffiness to the surfaces that explains the PR-61 numeric grade from PCGS. Boldly cameoed in finish, as well, with appealing color in a vivid orange-gold shade.
