Lot 1989
1907. NGC graded Proof 62. The year 1907 marked the final year for proof Liberty half eagles as, even though 1908s were struck for circulation, no proofs were coined due to the pending release of the newly designed Indian half eagle by Bella Lyon Pratt. Slight mishandling over the years has left this example with minor hairlines and scattered nicks along with some light haze on the surfaces that is commonly seen on these delicate coins. Fully defined throughout with strong visual appeal and struck in the expected non-contrasting finish seen starting in 1902 on these rare half eagles. Only 92 pieces were struck and this one remains highly collectible, even in a lower grade like this. Pop 3; 14 finer, 4 in 63, 8 in 64, 2 in 65 (PCGS # 8502) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,250.
