The March 2013 Baltimore Auction

Lot Description: 1906 Liberty Eagle. Proof-65+ Cameo (NGC). CAC. Mintage of 77 pieces only. Enticing surfaces for the collector who desires the Gem level, or a bit finer--on one of these coveted Proof Liberty eagles. Furthermore, the initial presentation shows the depth of contrast between the frosted devices and the reflective fields--enough to earn the Cameo designation from NGC. The fields are virtually pristine with scarcely any signs of handling to be found. The Cameo effect is always dramatic on these Proof gold coins of this era, as the devices seem to float upon a glassy sea. Notice the frost on Liberty, the stars and date, which provides a feast for the eyes--matching on the reverse where the eagle, legend, Motto, and denomination all stand tall above their mirror fields. With a tiny mintage of 77 pieces there are not too many Gems today, but here is a solid example for the specialist who desires one of these prized rarities.
