Lot 1847
1890. Coronet Double eagle. NGC graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo. A majestic example of this grand denomination. This is the only "ultra cameo" of this date and denomination graded by NGC, and PCGS hasn't graded any higher than PR-65, and none as either Cameo or Deep Cameo of this date. We do note that NGC has graded 3 coins PF-68 Cameo at the very top of the technical grading scale, and none as PF-67. This particular one is identifiable by a tiny lint mark midway between the lowest curl and the last star, and a tiny break in the frost on the upper diagonal of the N of UNITED and on the right leg of the M of AMERICA. In addition, we note a very minor planchet hairline from the left top ribbon end to the lower right ribbon end through the shield on the reverse, this line was obviously present before the coin was struck, and will further serve to hallmark this specimen. A truly incredible example of this extremely rare coin in proof condition.
Estimated Value $75,000-UP.
