Lot 1347
1903. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. A totally brilliant example with all the raised devices in full cameo. Only 158 Proofs struck. All 1903 Proofs are the same, stylistically. This particular date has the obverse field deeply basined, from the die-making process, adding more curvature than normal, and giving an especially interesting satiny accent to the raised devices, and also creating a little break at the bridge of Liberty's nose from the method used to polish the die. Every collector who contemplates buying a classic Proof Liberty $20 gold piece will want to check this out for its beauty as well as for the instructional experience. The present specimen combines classic conservative coin design of its mid-19th century origin, attractiveness, rarity, and everything else desirable. Certainly it will be an exciting moment when the sale occurs. Pop 6; 5 finer in 65 (PCGS # 89119) .
Estimated Value $40,000-UP.
