Rich Yellow-Gold 1906 Half Eagle, PR63

1906 $5 PR63 PCGS. The obverse of this needle-sharp yellow-gold specimen appears finer than the stated grade. The reverse has faint hairlines and a brief mark near 7 o'clock. Moderate cameo contrast is present on each side. Only slight mint frost is necessary to give the coin this effect against the depth of reflectivity seen in the fields. Just 85 proofs were struck, and population/census reports are undoubtedly inflated by resubmissions. Encapsulated in a first generation holder. One note to prospective bidders: In the left obverse field it appears there is a sizeable mark in the field in front of Liberty's nose. This is actually a flaw in the plastic encapsulation. Population: 8 in 63, 19 finer (4/10).(Registry values: P1)
