Exemplary Choice Proof 1907 Liberty Eagle

1907 $10 PR64 PCGS. Interest in high denomination proof gold apparently declined between 1904 and 1907, since the already very small mintages fell each subsequent year until a mere 74 proof Eagles were struck in 1907. The proofs for 1907 have an interesting feature, the tips of the outer star point is absent on stars 6 through 10. In addition, the upper serif of the 1 in the date is repunched. On the reverse, the ends of the scroll are made faint through die lapping and the second vertical stripe has a weak second line. These die characteristics are important to distinguish the rare proofs from their common business strike counterparts. However, the proof status of this razor-sharp, nicely mirrored, and unabraded near-Gem is obvious to the naked eye. Faint, milky tan toning accompanies protected areas, and a short lintmark (as made) from the field to the chin performs pedigree service.(#8847) (Registry values: P1)
