Bright PR62 1906 Twenty Dollar Liberty

1906 $20 PR62 PCGS. Both sides of this lovely proof example have brilliant yellow-gold surfaces with elegantly mirrored fields and whispers of orange at the reverse margins. The surfaces show a number of fine hairlines that are consistent with the grade. Despite its seemingly low grade, this remains a desirable and surprisingly appealing representative for the budget-conscious proof gold enthusiast.
The 1906 was the penultimate proof Liberty double eagle issue, and with a mintage of just 94 pieces, it has attracted considerable interest over the decades. Garrett and Guth (2006) state that approximately half of the original mintage survives today, with 45 to 50 pieces available across all grades. Population: 3 in 62, 26 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26EU, PCGS# 9122, Greysheet# 10125)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
