Lot 1735
$10 Gold Liberty. 1890. PCGS graded Proof 66 Deep Cameo. A delightful gem proof with straw yellow coloration and a strong definition between deeply mirrored fields and frosty devices. Unquestionably correctly designated as "DCAM. The quality of the fields is pristine with an orange-peel effect seen at certain angles of viewing. Thick frost on both Liberty and the eagle and Liberty's cheek has a velvety shifting of luster. A completely original superb gem proof and surely destined to end up in the hands of the proof gold connoisseur. Only 63 proofs were produced this year and many were mishandled even before leaving the control of the Mint. Perhaps two dozen exist in all grades and an example such as this is unquestionably a strong contender for finest known. PCGS has graded only two examples in DCAM, an example in PR65DCAM and this PR66DCAM, the finest known at PCGS. (PCGS # 98830) .
Estimated Value $60,000 - 70,000.
