1907 Liberty Half Eagle, PR65
Rare Cameo Example

1907 $5 Half Eagle PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Business-strike Liberty half eagles were struck in 1908, but 1907 was the final year that proofs of the design were produced. A small mintage of 92 proof Liberty fives was accomplished that year, and the survival rate for the issue was surprisingly low. Probably no more than 30-35 examples survive in all grades today, despite the higher figures in census data, which have been inflated by resubmissions and crossovers. This coin is part of a complete gold proof set of 1907, offered in this catalog as four consecutive individual lots.

This impressive Gem displays deeply mirrored fields that contrast boldly with the sharply detailed frosty design elements. The pristine yellow-gold surfaces show a few highlights of green, contributing to the tremendous visual appeal. Population: 3 in 65, 3 finer (11/14).
