Beautiful coin with wonderful detail. Don't like the 'scratchy' fields for a 65, but what do I know.
Congratulations to the winner.
I assume this is a record price for an 1864 proof double eagle gold coin in this grade.
Big night for Great Collections yet again.

Proof gold has been on a tear. Must be a lot of money chasing the small number of coins. Perhaps a few whales pursuing a set of these ala Trompeter?
It looks over graded to me. It's sort of cloudy and has too many hairlines in the obverse field.
These things are so rare that almost any price might be realized, but I don't think that the grade is correct.
A drop in the bucket for some filthy rich dudes
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
From the posted photos, I agree. There was recently a nice 1878 twenty sold which was graded Pr 64 also CAC'ed which appears very similar to the mentioned 1864 PR 66.

Agree and perhaps that’s why it’s not carrying a sticker.
A rare coin for sure but hairlines just kill me!
It probably has to do with registry points. Over at NGC, collectors with Proof gold a shutting everyone down. The registry points you get overwhelm whatever you have in Mint State.
It’s in the wrong holder and doesn’t have a sticker. Proof double eagles are beautiful coins and grading a proof coin from a picture is a fools game.
