1905 Liberty Head Double Eagle, PR64
Rare Date, Only Three Coins Certified Finer

1905 $20 PR64 NGC. From a minuscule mintage of just 92 pieces, the 1905 proof Liberty Head double eagle is a rare coin in all grades. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth estimate a surviving population of 30-40 examples, including some impaired specimens. Examples in Choice Proof condition are very rare, and anything finer is virtually unobtainable. Current population data reveals NGC has certified seven proof coins at the Choice level, with two finer, while PCGS has also graded seven specimens at this level, with one finer (8/10).
The present coin is a magnificent specimen, with deeply mirrored, greenish-gold fields and full striking details throughout. The few minor hairlines and handling marks detected on the attractive surfaces do little to diminish the fantastic eye appeal. Altogether, this piece is one of the most impressive examples of this rare proof issue.(Registry values: P1)
