1903 Half Eagle, Deeply Mirrored PR65
First Generation Holder
1903 $5 PR65 PCGS. CAC. In 1903, the Mint made no effort to
produce a cameo effect on its proof coinage, with the result that
most examples are fully brilliant. The proof half eagle of this
year had a mintage of 154 pieces, one of the more substantial
production totals of the period, but the issue survives in
significantly lower numbers, likely fewer than half of the original
mintage. The certified population figures, totaling some 114
pieces, are no doubt inflated by resubmissions. This piece, housed
in a first generation holder, exhibits remarkably deep mirroring in
the fields, with somewhat satiny luster seen over the devices. The
strike is bold, as expected, and grade-limiting hairlines are
nearly nonexistent. A small, coppery alloy spot is noted in the
field near the back of Liberty's neck. Population: 4 in 65, 1 finer
(8/14).From The La Jolla Lady's Collection.(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 28D9, PCGS# 8498)
Weight: 8.36 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
