Lot 1858
1896. Coronet or Liberty double eagle. NGC graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo. Majestic in size and contrast, any ultra cameo double eagle is a sight to behold. This one is tied with a total of 3 for the finest graded of this date and grade, the only others close are 4 that are the same technical grade but are only rated as cameos by NGC. The surfaces are simply pristine, with full bodied frost on Liberty and the fields surrounding are perfectly crackled in their orange peel texture. No signs of spotting or handling aside from the faintest lines. An awe inspiring coin for the most advanced numismatist to pursue.
Estimated Value $75,000-UP.
