Description

1901 Half Eagle, PR65 Cameo
Few Cameo Proofs at Either Service

1901 $5 JD-1, R.4, PR65 Cameo NGC. John Dannreuther correctly points out "Collectors buy the frosted Proofs before they will buy an issue of similar rarity lacking frost or missing detail. Full strike, full detail, full frost, and deeply reflective fields on Proofs are the traits that make them bring extraordinary prices ..." This 1901 proof half eagle checks all the boxes. A needle-sharp strike and smooth, mirrorlike fields accompany frosted motifs on this MS65 Cameo proof. Dazzling orange-gold color adds to the exceptional eye appeal. While the mint frost is not as pronounced as on earlier Cameo proofs, any 1901 proof with designated Cameo contrast is a prize for the specialist. NGC Census: 6 in 65 Cameo, 5 finer (7/25).
