During the 1890’s gold tens of thousands of people flocked their way to the Yukon for yet another Gold Rush discovered in Canada.
By 1901 some of this gold made its way back the States, but most would remain in Canada for its own uses. Nonetheless, there was the excitement of gold at every turn with rags to riches stories in every headline!
This exquisite 1901 $20 was struck in Proof and a mere 96 examples were made. It’s an exquisite PF66 * Star * Cameo by NGC, with the Cameo designation being an exception to the rule after 1901 after the Mint started lessening its use on coins. Of course, with the added Star designation this coin is paralleled by few others in the entire proof gold universe.
Certainly, every time we ask for new Proof gold the price rises and rises. There just isn’t nearly enough to meet supply!
This coin is every bit the grade it’s been given. It’s exquisite surfaces certainly don’t detract from that, and the device to field contrast is intense. Overall eye appeal is simply outstanding!
A coin of magnificent importance for any extraordinary collection.
