1901 Liberty Half Eagle, PR63 Ultra Cameo
Last Year of Heavily Contrasted Proofs

1901 $5 PR63 Ultra Cameo NGC. JD-1, R.4. The Philadelphia Mint struck 140 proof Liberty half eagles in 1901, down considerably from the 230 proofs produced the year before. The proofs were delivered in quarterly batches throughout the year. A single die pair was used to strike all the proofs. For reasons unknown to the numismatic community today, the Mint switched to an all-brilliant finish for proofs in 1902, so this is the last year when Cameo and Deep Cameo examples are encountered with any frequency.

The present coin is an impressive Select specimen, with sharply detailed design elements throughout. The lightly marked orange-gold surfaces include deeply reflective fields that contrast profoundly with the richly frosted devices to produce a startling cameo effect. Eye appeal is outstanding. Census: 1 in 63 Ultra Cameo, 6 finer (7/22).(Registry values: P1)
