Lot 2411
1907 $5 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66. Fully brilliant and boldly struck. This is a desirable issue by any standard, combining rarity, beauty, and high quality. Survivors of the 1907 issue are seen with much less frequency than those of the 1900-1906 specimen deliveries. Few Proof Half Eagles were prepared in 1907, and either many were melted as unsold, or a fair number of pieces were lost by attrition. Solidly graded as a Proof 66 Gem, this lovely contrasted example is at the high end of the Condition Census. There is not a single distracting tarnish spot on either the obverse or the reverse, and both sides are about as close to technical perfection in their sharpness as one could imagine. A glinting gem with stunning eye appeal added to its unimpeachable other merits. Only 92 proofs struck. Pop 6; 5 finer; 1 in 66 Star; 3 in 67; 1 in 67 Star. (PCGS # 8502) .
Estimated Value $40,000 - 45,000.
