Description
Circulated Proof 1906 Double Eagle, PR55
Deeply Mirrored Fields
1906 $20 PR55 PCGS. One of Walter Breen's favorite ways to
explain whether a coin was a proof or not is "It carries its own
credentials." It was not a precise explanation, but it worked. This
coin certainly carries its own credentials as a proof in spite of
the fuzziness in the fields from obvious time in circulation. The
fields show extraordinary depth of reflectivity, definitely unlike
a prooflike business strike. Curiously there are a substantial
number of circulated proofs known of the 1906, 10 in fact. Each
side shows numerous small contact marks with other coins. The color
is orange-gold and the striking details are complete throughout.
