1907 Half Eagle, PR65 Cameo
Final Year of Issue in Proof

1907 $5 JD-1, Low R.5, PR65 Cameo PCGS. Light yellow-gold devices are overlayed on pristine mirrored surfaces. All details are well-defined. The 1907 half eagle is the last known proof Liberty Head half eagle, and as such, the last brilliant proof half eagle made at the U.S. Mint. However, in his famous 1914 ANS exhibit, gold coin collector William Woodin claimed to have displayed a proof 1908 Liberty Head half eagle. Despite this, there is no evidence the coin exists. It was not present in the 1911 sale of Woodin's collection by Thomas Elder, nor was it represented in the collections of Waldo Newcomer, Virgil Brand, Col. E.H.R. Green, or other collectors, who purchased Woodin's gold coins either from his sale or subsequently. Therefore, it must be concluded that the 1907 proof half eagle was the last of its type, and thus a requirement for collectors putting together a "last year" set.
