Just 78 Proofs of the final year of Longacre’s Liberty double eagle design were produced, and few of the survivors from that production run can equal the amazing specimen we offer in our upcoming Americana Sale, to be held in New York City in February 2015 – just a few weeks away!
The surfaces of this deep golden-orange Gem are afire with luster in the deeply reflective fields and the frosty textured highlights of the design motifs. This example is readily among the finest extant, with NGC grading just one finer Cameo Proof of the date – that coin no doubt resides in an advanced double eagle cabinet or type set. With an almost sure lock on the finer specimen, collectors will turn to the present beauty with gusto when the bidding begins. There has always been a small coterie of collectors who specialize in double eagles, and of late there seems to be many more contenders for high-quality examples. The present Gem Cameo Proof 1907 Liberty double eagle offers you the opportunity to be the winner on this lot! We anticipate heavy bidding activity when this lot crosses the block in February 2015 in New York City! This lot and the rest of our February 2015 New York Americana Sale will be available for viewing and bidding online at StacksBowers.com in January 2015.
