Auction 204 | Lot 5294 » Eagles » Liberty Eagles
1892 PR 62 Cameo NGC. Ex: Trompeter. Formerly offered as lot 8254 in our FUN Sale, where it was described as, "Of the 72 proofs struck in this year, estimates range from 20-25 known today (Akers) to a high of 25-30 (Breen). Either way, this is a very scarce proof ten. The frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields make for a strong cameo contrast and effective color combination. However, unlike most of the Trompeter proofs, this piece is not among the finest known or certified. Its grade is derived not from extensive post-striking impairments but rather from a couple of Mint-caused problems that diminish the visual appeal of the coin slightly and therefore inhibit its value. On the upper obverse there are a number of diagonal roller marks, made when the planchet was passed through a pair of rollers that reduced the thickness of the planchet prior to striking. Common on 1902-S silver dollars and a few other dates to a lesser extent, such an occurrence is very rare on proof coins, especially proof gold, this being the first we have seen. Additionally, on the reverse, there is a long planchet lamination beneath the eagle's right (facing) wing. Without these Mint-caused defects this coin has the appeal and most likely the grade of a gem. An interesting coin."

Auction 242 | Lot 7236 » Eagles » Liberty Eagles
1892 $10 PR 55 PCGS. Only 72 proofs were originally produced of this year, but there are far fewer survivors today than one might expect. Akers estimated that only 20-25 pieces are known today and Breen weighed in with a low estimate also in the 25-30 range. These numbers, of course, make this coin all the more important for collectors as so few pieces of this date are ever offered for sale. The surfaces have that "fuzzy" look, like the coin slipped into circulation for a while or was carried as a pocket piece. But the fields still retain the diagnostic depth of reflectivity seen on proofs and the striking details are razor sharp. A few contact marks are present, as one would expect, and light reddish patina is seen over each side.

Auction 292 | Lot 6827 » Eagles » Liberty Eagles
1892 $10 PR53 PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint produced just 72 proof Eagles in 1892, only 20-25 examples of which are believed extant. This is a noticeably scuffy example with numerous small and moderate abrasions. The remnants of deep mirrors in the fields (evidence of which can be seen in the more protected areas around the devices), however, confirm this coin as a proof. Both sides are richly colored in honey-gold shades.
