Lot 1298
1902 $20 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. In NGC holder 1741159-030. Untoned and well struck. Only 114 Proofs minted. Of the small number of Double Eagle Proofs minted in this low total mintage year (business strikes are also scarce as hen's teeth), recent approximations put the number of survivors at roughly half of the original Proof total or 55 to 60 pieces. From this esteemed group, many have little or no field-to-device contrast. This eye appealing Cameo Gem specimen, on the other hand, is comprised of deep glassy brilliant fields, with strong enough contrast to have earned the coveted "Cameo" title. Indeed, this is the Finest Certified by the service! Spectacular quality for a special set of Proof gold coins. Pop 1; none finer at NGC (PCGS # 89118) .
Estimated Value $90,000 - 100,000.
