Lot 1867
1915 Indian eagle. NGC graded Proof 66. A very rare coin in proof grades, only 75 were struck and several were melted as unsold after the time of issue. This one boasts a light yellow gold color and a coarse sandblast finish that was only used for 1914-1915 proof gold. Struck with authority, and the tiny nuances of the dies were completely brought up on this specimen, with no signs of weakness to be found. A few faint signs of handling keep this from absolute perfection, but no distracting spots or marks are worthy of note. NGC has graded 5 this high, with a single coin graded higher. Exceptionally beautiful, and truly an American numismatic classic.
Estimated Value $37,000 - 42,000.
