1896 Proof Double Eagle

If Proof Gold is the Caviar of Numismatics, then Liberty Head double eagles are the Grade-A Beluga of the Proof Gold market. From both a rarity and visual standpoint, it's pretty hard to surpass a high quality Proof of this design.

A total of 128 Proofs of this date were made, giving it the second highest figure of any date of this design. This figure is misleading as a number were melted due to the seemingly overzealous production run (the previous three years saw mintages of 59, 50, and 51, respectively) and today this issue is quite rare with an estimated three to four dozen known.
