Lot 1265
1907 $5 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. In NGC holder 1741200-016. A glorious Gem Proof, well struck and untoned. How else to explain this very bright and radiant coin whose devices are surrounded by imposing deeply mirrored fields! Close examination under a glass shows nothing even remotely noticeable in the way of marks or spotting. Almost on a par with the few known Proof 67s, in fact. The last year of half eagle production in Proof with the venerable Liberty head design (business strikes continued part way into 1908). The Proofs can be identified by a bold diagonal die line (as made) west of the initial vertical stripe of the shield. Only 92 proofs minted. Pop 7; 4 in 67 Cameo (PCGS # 88502) .
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
