Lot 2406
1901 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 66 Deep Cameo. Beautiful rich golden colors. A great looking Proof coin. Only 140 Proofs struck. A stunning, absolutely wonderful Proof specimen that was produced in very limited numbers, 140 pieces to be exact, and has survived essentially as it was struck during the early months of the 20th century. Merely a wisp of orange patina has gathered on the obverse since that time, only a slight change and the only one that would differentiate from the remarkable quality and appearance as it came off the dies some 103 years ago. The surfaces are nicely frosted on each side and, with the illimitable depth of mirrored reflectivity in the fields, the coin displays a very attractive two-toned appearance. This superlative Proof Half Eagle represents quality that could hardly be improved upon and is truly a coin worthy of runaway potential. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 98496) .
Estimated Value $40,000 - 44,000.
