Lot Description

This sale represents only our third offering for this rare and conditionally challenged 20th century Proof gold issue since 2013. An awe-inspiring Superb Gem, this specimen boasts beautiful golden-honey color that greets the viewer from fully impressed surfaces. The appearance is a bit lighter than typically seen in examples of this Proof Indian eagle issue, yet no less attractive. The characteristic coarse grain sandblast finish is readily evident, but not even close inspection with a loupe reveals a detracting contact mark, "shiny spot," or other blemish. A virtually pristine Superb Gem that belongs in the finest cabinet of classic Proof gold coinage.<p>This is a prized rarity, as the mintage in Proof for the year fell to the lowest number of this series - a total of just 50 pieces were struck. Most of these survived to today, but of the 35 to 40 believed extant (per John W. Dannreuther, 2018), only a few can offer the Superb Gem grade level of the present condition rarity.
