1907 $10 Liberty, CAM PR (PCGS#88847)

The June 2012 Baltimore Auction

Lot Description: 1907 Liberty Eagle. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). Bright and lustrous lemon-yellow surfaces exhibit richly frosted design elements and deeply mirrored fields -- the visual contrast is nothing short of superb. One of just 74 Proofs of the date produced during the final year of Christian Gobrecht's long-lived design type. Of the number struck, we imagine just 40 to 50 or so pieces are known today, and we're certain that few among those, if indeed, any, can compare to the beautiful specimen offered here. <strong><em>Tied for finest Proof of the date certified by PCGS within any Proof designation, Cameo or otherwise. </em></strong>For comparison purposes -- and what better coin to compare it to -- we note the Harry W. Bass, Jr. specimen (October 1999:1665) was called Proof-64, though at a time when the Cameo designation had not yet come into vogue among third-party grading services. Whether you mean to start, add to, or finish a world-class cabinet of Proof Liberty eagles, the present Gem Cameo Proof will be a grand addition to your collection. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VzI5yG0gI38" frameborder="0"></iframe>
