Mint brilliance is crisp and vibrant, highlighting deep mirror fields. Continuing next to the engraved features, these are very bold and stand out in frosty "cameo" relief which is described on the holder but which the photos reveal to be truly deep and satiny. Hairlines are almost unavoidable but fortunately are trivial with this specimen, assuring solid Proof 64 quality status to this outstanding numismatic treasure. There is a mere hint of toning in the fields, which does not inhibit the impressive "orange peel" effect of the mirrors of this Liberty Eagle. Only 55 made, but rarer than this figure suggests.
Proof gold is well known as the caviar of American numismatics, and long-established as the elite of all collecting specialties. With few exceptions, the mintage of proof gold is very small compared to its copper, nickel and silver counterparts. Further, the high face value of gold coins resulted in a rate of attrition higher than non-gold denominations. This is especially true with the $10 and $20 gold pieces, which was more money at the time than most families earned in a week or two; thus, many were spent.
