Lot 4481
1906 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo PQ. CAC Approved. PCGS holder 22104676. A hint of light tone. A nice strike. A tiny flaw on Liberty's cheek. Only 94 minted. One of the more memorable pieces with sleek mirror surfaces, deep and watery. The light taste of patina over each side lends a fully original appearance. The strike is typically sharp, and including the hair behind Liberty's ear and the central reverse design which are sometimes marginally incomplete on the Proofs of 1900 to 1907. No obvious distractions other than the one mentioned to prevent this example from attaining the highest possible attraction for its grade. With low mintage that rarely exceeds 100 pieces, Proof Type 3 Liberty double eagles possess the maximum value and desirability. The abraded state of many of these serves to enhance the attraction of this choice Proof 64 coin. There are only a few full "cameo" Proof 1906 twenties available to collectors. (This 1906, has strong details before polishing removed the bridge of Liberty's nose, a common occurrence seen on the last Proofs to be struck, not only in the double eagles but other gold denominations as well.) Pop 4; 1 finer in 65 (PCGS # 89122) .
Estimated Value $35,000 - 40,000.
