1903 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 65. A blazing bright gem. A radiant example of the later issue "all brilliant" 1903, fully struck with ideal color that rises and falls in an almost rhythmic display of the mirror surface. From the luster, we next take stock of the details of the design. Given the proper amount of strike pressure, the coin was fully brought up by the dies. Liberty and all hair curls are fully featured. The stars as well as the eagle just as plain and knife-edge crisp. A coin that was spared the weak or uneven-striking fate of a fair number of Proofs. We see nothing but golden sunshine out into the future for the purchaser of this handsome beauty. Only 197 proofs issued. Pop 14; 11 finer (PCGS # 7929) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
