1901 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 66 Deep Cameo. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides. Encapsulated in PCGS holder 50146508. Just about any $5 Liberty Proof gold piece fits the Rare classification in Proof 65 condition or higher. For plain reasons, the Mint never made many of them and few collectors hold any in high grades. This exquisite high-end piece is so vibrant it would illuminate a darkened room! It has reflective surfaces that are deep as a Black Hole in the cosmos. It has beautiful contrast from the frosted relief. Considering most coins after 1900 have very little cameo frost, this specimen is nothing short of miraculous! There is no haze on the mirrors and they are nearly free of hairlines as well. Spot-free perfection gives Liberty and the other details that "perfectly struck" appearance, with thick bright yellow golden frost. We expect this coin will provide an incredible opportunity for any collector seeking an eye-popping Proof Liberty Half Eagle to headline his collection. Only 140 proofs struck. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS. Only 3 PRDCAM examples graded by PCGS (PCGS # 98496) .
Estimated Value $40,000 - 45,000.
