Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1445		1902-S $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Moderate handling ticks on both sides, but nice luster throughout. Estimated Value $180 - 200. View details	Realized $265
Lot 1446		1903 $5 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. Of the 154 half eagle proofs struck in 1903 this coin is the finest graded by either grading service. One other Proof-68 has been graded by NGC, but it is not a "Cameo" designation. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that this is the very finest 1903 Proof half eagle. And one can see why, the surfaces are nearly perfect in every way. Deep mirror fields show none of the usual problems or tick marks. On the reverse, there are some small copper toning specks which are the only signs of age on this coin, otherwise it appears as if it were struck yesterday and carefully handled from the moment it was struck. For the entire type, there are only 5 coins graded this high by NGC. PCGS has not awarded any half eagles of this type a grade of PF-68. So, if you want the very best, the most perfectly preserved coin of the date, which includes the desirable cameo designation, then you simply must purchase this lot. Once it sells, it may not again be offered in many years, perhaps decades! A superb example for the most advanced collector. Estimated Value $70,000-UP.

A couple of faint marks on Liberty's chin and jaw, otherwise we note well struck devices and pristine fields. NGC has graded 11 this high, with 5 graded higher. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
