NGC PROOF 65 1903 $2.50. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. A glittering gem proof that boasts the curious "all mirror" style attendant to the first few years of the last century. Liberty and the devices are not frosted as in the past, and the coin is reflective, both fields and devices. As a Cameo proof, 1903 is extremely rare, most do not qualify as a "cameo" proof, which makes this coin extra special. The delicate surfaces are superb, with no signs of handling or abuse which are so apparent in the fields. NGC has only graded 2 as such, none graded higher of the "cameo" designation, but as a date, a total of 15 have been graded PF-65 with 6 graded higher (all PF-66). Of the 197 coined in proof, perhaps a third remain in various proof grades, this obviously near the top of those known.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
