1885 Liberty Head Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-6. Proof-64+ Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC.

A gorgeous premium Choice Deep Cameo Proof of the date. Heavily frosted motifs and impressively deep mirror fields form an intense and stark cameo contrast with vivid orange-gold color throughout. One glance and you will be instantly enthralled by the natural beauty of this piece; the fields exhibit the crinkly "orange peel" effect cherished by today's advanced collecting community. From a modest mintage for the date of 65 pieces, with far fewer than that tally available to today's collectors; John W. Dannreuther (2018) suggests just 16 to 20 known. The present specimen is among the finest obtainable, as confirmed by limited PCGS and CAC population figures. The bidding will be fast and furious, as they say, when this lot enters the auction arena, so please plan accordingly.
