로트 설명: Choice Proof 1903 Double Eagle 1903 Liberty Double Eagle. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. The deep yellow-gold surfaces offer faintly dusted motifs set against deeply mirrored fields, the whole presenting a soft cameo contrast that is bolder on the reverse. The devices are sharply and fully rendered, and the fields exhibit the crinkly orange-peel effect that is held in such esteem by today's collectors. From a Proof mintage for the date of 158 pieces, a figure that allows for numerous survivors in today's numismatic marketplace, and makes it only modestly difficult for a collector to locate a pleasing Proof of the issue. The PCGS website suggests that only 50 to 60 Proofs of the date can be accounted for today; that firm has listed 45 grading events for Proof 1903 double eagles, while NGC has listed 35 grading events for the same date; these figures include Cameo Proofs as well, and no doubt include resubmissions. The present specimen is ideally suited for inclusion in an advanced gold type set. PCGS# 9119. PCGS Population: 12; 3 finer (all Proof-65). These figures include Cameo Proofs as well as non-cameo Proofs of the date.
