Finally, the stunning Double Eagle, a proof 67 D Cam, only had 77 minted, as a standalone piece fetched nearly one million dollars at auction in November 2022. In fact, an 1861 proof 66 double eagle sold for one point eight million dollars in January 2022.
These proof coins, each made with great care, show sharp detail on a mirror-like background, a mark of their superb creation. The term D Cam, or Deep Cameo, refers to coins like these, their strong, frosted design set against a deeply mirrored background, creating an incredible contrast. Each piece carries the C A C, or Certified Acceptance Corporation seal, a third-party grading that shows the coin's high quality and value.
Each of these numismatic gems, bearing its distinct badge of rarity, has journeyed through time, coveted and cherished, until now. Together, they form the exceptional 1885 Proof Gold Set, a remarkable testament to history and the timeless allure of gold.
This is more than a just a collection, it is a heritage, a golden legacy.
