1907 Ten Dollar, PR65+
Final Liberty Eagle
CAC-Approved Popular Type Issue

1907 $10 Liberty PR65+ PCGS. CAC. JD-1 R.5. Only 74 Liberty eagles were struck in proof format in 1907, the final year of the Liberty design. The coins were delivered in quarterly groups of 30, 15, 4, and 25 pieces, comprising the smallest proof production total since 1898. Fortunately, the issue boasts a good survival rate and John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 45 to 55 examples in all grades. PCGS CoinFacts offers a slightly more generous estimate of 50-65 specimens extant. PCGS and NGC have combined to certify a total of 114 examples between them, clearly including many resubmissions and crossovers (4/20).

A single die pair was used to strike all the proofs, with excessive polishing on the scroll resulting in several diagnostic artifacts near TR in TRUST. Many vertical stripes in the shield extend into the horizontal stripes at the top, some as far as the fourth or fifth stripe. The Mint had switched to an all brilliant finish for proof coins in 1902, which eliminated much of the mint frost on the devices and resulted in minimal cameo contrast on coins from this era.

This Plus-graded Gem proof exhibits needle-sharp definition on all design elements, with intricate detail on Liberty's hair and the star centers. The well-preserved orange-gold surfaces are deeply mirrored, but the typical "all brilliant" finish creates only modest field/device contrast. Overall eye appeal is terrific. We expect intense competition from series specialists and advanced type collectors when this lot is called. This coin is pictured on PCGS CoinFacts. Population: 7 in 65 (1 in 65+), 0 finer. CAC: 4 in 65, 0 finer (4/20).
