Auction 352 | Lot 7710 » Double Eagles » Liberty Double Eagles

1906 $20 PR66 NGC. It is estimated that between 50 and 60 proofs survive from a mintage of 94 coins. By 1906, there were many more collectors of means that even a decade earlier, and sales of the proof double eagles would have been much higher. It is possible that nearly all of the 94 coins produced actually found buyers by 1906. This is possibly the most common proof Liberty double eagle. Total PCGS and NGC populations exceed the original mintage by exactly two coins with 96 submissions certified.

This is a fully brilliant Gem with just a hint of cameo contrast. Every detail on each side is boldly defined. The surfaces are virtually pristine with only a couple faint hairlines, as well as a tiny disturbance on Liberty's cheek. This latter mark may be as struck, and almost has the appearance of a tiny lamination mark. There do not appear to be any lint marks or other pedigree identifiers.
From The Greenwich Collection, Part Two. (PCGS# 9122)

Auction 422 | Lot 3765 » Double Eagles » Liberty Double Eagles

1906 $20 PR65 NGC. Although a prized rarity in Gem condition and seldom offered in any grade, the 1906 is among the more frequently encountered proof Liberty double eagles. Nevertheless, the number of survivors is still limited in an absolute sense, being on the order of only 50-60 coins from an official mintage of 94 proofs. Moderate attrition on these high denomination proof gold coins is understandable since their numismatic value did not substantially exceed their face value for several decades. A certain amount of date pressure also falls on the 1906 double eagle, while perhaps less than in days gone by, because of the issue's low business strike mintage and scarcity in better Mint State grades.

This lovely specimen displays unfathomably deep, glassy mirrors and at least a modest amount of contrast between the fields and devices, especially considering the era in which is was produced. The bright yellow-gold surfaces are faintly striated and show a hint of striking deficiency in the centers, both characteristics found on every proof double eagle seen by this cataloger. A small coppery alloy spot is tucked away on the obverse border adjacent to star 9. While not at all distracting, this feature is particularly useful for future attribution. An exciting, high quality proof twenty for the quality conscious gold collector or investor. Population: 3 in 65, 0 finer (12/06). (PCGS# 9122)

Auction 366 | Lot 9429 » Double Eagles » Liberty Double Eagles

1906 $20 PR65 NGC. A memorable piece with bright yellow-gold surfaces and nicely mirrored fields. A moderate amount of hazy, opaque patina overlays each side lending a fully original appearance. The strike is typically strong, although we note that the hair behind Liberty's ear and the central reverse devices are somewhat incomplete. A single contact mark on Liberty's chin and a copper colored alloy spot on her lower neck are the only distractions that prevents this example from attaining an even finer grade designation. With low productions that rarely exceeded 100 pieces, proof Coronet Double Eagles are of the utmost rarity and desirability. The impaired state of most surviving pieces, coupled with the meager mintage of its corresponding business strike, only enhances the allure of this particular issue. From an original mintage of only 94 coins, both NGC and PCGS combined have only seen six pieces in Proof 65, with 1 finer at NGC (1/05). (PCGS# 9122)

1906 PR 65 Cameo NGC. Only 94 proofs were struck in this year and many were either melted, damaged, or placed into circulation over the years, leaving very few available today for collectors. This piece was not struck in the no-contrast method of proofing used in the Mint just after the turn of the century, and presents a modest, yet attractive cameo contrast between the fields and devices. Lightly hairlined, the surfaces have a lovely yellow-orange color. The only defects worthy of mention are on the reverse where there is one diagonal mark across the horizontal shield lines and another, shorter one across two of the vertical stripes. An exciting, high quality proof twenty for the advanced collector or investor. From the Green Mountain Collection. Population: 1 in 65, none are finer (4/98). (PCGS# 9122)

1906 PR 64 PCGS. Just 94 proofs were issued, the majority of which were either melted or circulated beyond recognition as a proof striking, thus leaving very few available for collectors today. This is a splendid proof striking that was produced in the no-contrast method that was popular after the turn of the century. The fields possess the illimitible depth of mirrored flash only seen on proofs. The rich orange-gold color shows a light haziness, mostly on the obverse, which help conceal a few light hairlines. There are very few surface impairments. In fact, the only reportable flaw is a slight weakness of strike on the trailing hair curls and on the head of the eagle. (PCGS# 9122)

This piece was struck in the no-contrast method of proofing used in the mint just after the turn of the century. The fields are incredibly deep in their mirrored reflectivity, but there is virtually no contrast on either side. A few wispy hairlines on the obverse account for the grade along with a mark on the back of the cheek of Liberty, while the reverse is diamond-clear. (PCGS# 9122)

1906 $20 PR63 PCGS. Only 94 proofs were produced of the 1906 double eagle, and as with most other proof twenties attrition has taken a high toll over the years. That being said, there appear to be a higher number of survivors of this date than others with estimates ranging from a low of 40-50 pieces (Akers) to as many as 50-60 (Breen). This is a lightly hairlined example that shows some hazy reddish patina on the obverse. Curiously, the striking details are not complete over the highpoints, which may have contributed to the PR63 grade rather than any noticeable surface defects. Population: 10 in 63, 23 finer (11/04).

1906 $20 PR62 PCGS. Both sides of this lovely proof example have brilliant yellow-gold surfaces with nicely mirrored fields. The reverse displays hints of orange color. The surfaces on each side are lightly marred, consistent with the grade. Although an expensive issue by its very nature, this aesthetically pleasing example should prove more affordable than the few Gem proofs that appear for sale from time to time. Not only is this an important proof issue, from a production of just 94 coins, but the date is also important in business strike format, with a mintage of less than 70,000 coins. Today, most specialists and researchers agree that the surviving proof population is a little over half the original mintage, or between 50 and 60 coins, although many are impaired or otherwise unattractive. Despite its lower numerical grade, the present specimen is appealing and desirable. (PCGS# 9122)

1906 $20 PR 62 PCGS. Although far from common, the 1906 (94 pieces produced) is among the more frequently encountered proof Liberty double eagles. Nevertheless, the number of survivors is still limited in an absolute sense, being on the order of only 40-50 coins. A pleasing example for the grade, neither side reveals any singularly distracting hairlines. The surfaces sparkle with mirrored reflectivity beneath light haziness that is most noticeable in the fields. The color is a pleasing mixture of orange-gold and green-gold shades.
