1906 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. With a limited Proof offering, the 1906 is an understandably scarce when carefully preserved. The Proofs this year may or may not have light satin devices. This is just such an example, gently cameo and thereby proclaiming the Proof status. The fields are deep and reflective. There is a lovely orange-peel glow to them. The devices are sharper than anything found on a business strike coin. Best of all, neither side shows anything other than needle-point striking detail. A lovely example that would serve as a centerpiece in any collection of 19th century Proof gold. Only 160 proofs struck. Pop 10; 35 finer, 14 in 66, 15 in 67, 4 in 67 star, 2 in 68 (PCGS # 7932) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
