Lot 1266
1904. NGC graded Proof 67+ Cameo. A blazing white gem cameo proof with virtually perfect surfaces and radiant blazing orange gold color. Liberty's cheek is essentially perfect in its preservation, with no signs of handling or spotting. The fields are equally perfect, with no stray nicks or marks. For the reverse the superb quality continues, with each feather bold on the eagle, the shield lines crisply defined and the fields unmarred by even the slightest fault. Incredible quality to behold, and one of the top graded examples to survive of this low mintage proof. A wonderful boldly struck coin that displays the incredible appeal of the Cameo contrast on this desirable proof format, and rarely seen on this date too. After all, proof gold coinage is the absolute caviar of our numismatics, issued in tiny numbers and survivors are few and far between. Here os one of the absolute nicest ones known of this date. Only 136 pieces issued. Pop 1; only 1 example graded finer as 68 Cameo at NGC. (PCGS # 88499) Estimated Value $50,000 - UP
