1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Proof-58 (NGC).Handsome deep gold surfaces with plenty of reflectivity remaining in the fields. Striking detail is sharp to full throughout, and there is very little in the way of actual wear. Light friction and wispy handling marks, in fact, are all that point to minor mishandling for this unequivocal Proof double eagle. All Proof Liberty Head gold coinage is rare in numismatic circles, irrespective of denomination, date or level of preservation. This is a somewhat more affordable survivor from a mintage of just 96 pieces, and it is a coin that should find many willing buyers in todays market.
