Description

1905 Half Eagle, PR65 Cameo
Rare in Contrasted Proof Format

1905 $5 PR65 Cameo NGC. JD-1, R.5. Splendid orange-gold color radiates throughout both sides of this glittering Gem proof, with glassy-mirrored fields that contrast boldly with smoothly frosted devices to earn the much-desired Cameo designation. Such contrast is rarely seen on 1905-dated proof gold. Although 108 proof half eagles were struck, only 60 to 75 examples are known in all grades. Fewer than a third of those enjoy the designated Cameo contrast that graces this spectacular Cameo. Slight recutting on the flag of 5 in the date is seen on this coin (as well as on all known examples). Only the faintest, non-distracting marks can be located under a loupe, none of which limit the coin's outstanding eye appeal one iota. Census: 5 in 65 Cameo (1 in 65+), 3 finer (3/23).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DB, PCGS# 88500, Greysheet# 9300)
