With a PR66 Deep Cameo example of this issue selling in 2022 for $480,000 the opportunity to acquire this PR66+ Cameo designated example is simply too good to pass up at this value!
As the final year of issue the 1907 $20 is an intensely collected coin and a popular transitional year that also introduced the 1907 $20 Saint Gaudens
Spanning a run from 1849 to 1907, the $20 Liberty is one of the longest running series in the history of American coinage and has produced many extraordinary and legendary multi seven figure rarities.
Proof $20’s have long been the caviar of American numismatic mastery, and those that rest at the top of the condition census ladder have always had the eye of the industry’s cognoscenti since collecting was made popular.
According to the 2024 Guide Book, the Philadelphia Mint struck only 78 proof Liberty double eagles in 1907, the smallest regular proof production since 1898. There is a small discrepancy in the reports for that year, as delivery records indicate the coins were delivered in quarterly batches of 35, 18, 2, and 21 pieces, for a total of just 76 examples, all told. Researchers have not been able to reconcile the small difference in the production figures. Fortunately, the issue experienced a high survival rate, and John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 45 to 60 examples in all grades today. A single die pair was used to strike all the proofs. The reverse die shows a ragged clear polished area in the scroll at PLU that makes it possible to distinguish between proofs and prooflike business strikes.
A stellar representation of this rare and fervently collected issue at an exceptional relative value. It is destined for the most magnificent museum or world class collection.
