Lot 1297
1898 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 62 Deep Cameo. Only 75 proofs struck. A theme that runs through all the Liberty Proof half eagles is rarity. The 1898 is typical with its low mintage, low survival, a rare appearance in auctions. This coin has some obvious hairlines, which of course, account for the grade. Several contact marks are also scattered over each side. The devices are well frosted with deeply reflective mirrors in the fields. A rare opportunity for the specialist. Pop 1; 9 finer in DCAM. (PCGS # 98493) .
Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,700.
