Lot 1845
1894. PCGS graded Proof 61. A very rare Proof Eagle, a tiny 43 were minted, of which 6 have been graded by PCGS. Most were either spent or otherwise impaired. This example boasts deep contrast between the fields and devices, with a scattering of marks, perhaps even bagmarks, noted in the fields and accounting for the grade. The coin is obviously a Proof and was made during some of the highest quality years of the Philadelphia Mint, as excellent contrast and deep mirror fields were the rule during the 1890s. If a collector is lucky enough to be able to afford to collect Proof Gold, then the 1890s offers fertile ground for finding an excellent specimen.
