1906 $20 Liberty NGC PF66CAM
<Our item number 137900><B>1906 &#36;20 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo.</B> In NGC holder 1858221-001. Fully brilliant and untoned. Only 94 Proofs struck. A unforgettable Gem Proof with sleek, brilliant yellow-gold surfaces and beautifully mirrored fields. An ocean of mint sparkle covers each side lending a fully original appearance. The strike is typically razor-sharp &#40;including the stars forming an arc around Liberty&#41;, and we can point to full detail behind Liberty&#39;s ear and the central reverse devices as being exceptionally complete &#40;Some Liberty &#36;20 Proofs are weak in these areas.&#41; No obvious distractions to prevent this example from attaining possibly an even finer grade designation, other than perhaps a small mark on the cheek below the lovelock curl.<BR><BR>With low production that rarely exceeded 100 Proofs in any one year, Proof Type 3 Liberty Double Eagles are of the maximum desirability. The impaired state of many, tied to the scarcity of corresponding business strikes i n 1906, obviously enhances the attraction of this spectacular Proof 66! From an original mintage of 94, the coin presented here is one of the few genuine &#34;cameo&#34; Proofs available to collectors. <B> Pop 2; none finer at NGC</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 9122&#41;</B>. <BR><BR>Diagnostic: This 1906, due to extensive polishing of the die during preparation, has the bridge of Liberty&#39;s nose weakened at the eye, a common occurrence on numerous gold Proofs, not only the double eagles. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;90,000 - 100,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 137900<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/137900.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/137900N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
