1907 $5 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. In NGC holder 1741200-016. A needle-sharp Gem that is virtually pristine with radiant warm gold devices, nicely frosted, against imposing deeply mirrored fields. Exhaustive viewing under a magnifier fails to reveal any remotely noticeable marks or spotting. Those seeking a "provenance marker" should turn to the grading holder's serial number, for this coin is immaculate! The final year of Proof Liberty $5 gold production (although business strikes would continue into 1908), Proofs can be identified by a bold diagonal die line (as made) west of the initial vertical stripe of the shield. The present piece is one of the finest, most resplendent looking half eagles of its year we have offered, and should provide a lot of spirited bidding when its turn arrives. Only 92 proofs struck. Pop 6; 3 finer; 2 in 67; 1 in 67 Star. (PCGS # 88502) .
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
