1904. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. Rich lovely rainbow toning on both sides. Only 670 minted. A first-rate Gem Proof with richly permeating mirror surfaces that flow across both sides. Satisfactorily struck for the date, indeed, about as excellent as this Proof date is ever found, with razor-sharpness throughout including all stars. The coin's designer would have loved this 1904 Cameo Proof! Pop 2; 10 finer, 6 in 66, 1 in 66+, 2 in 67, 1 in 67+ (PCGS # 86551) .
Bit of Trivia: Having no connection to this coin whatsoever, other than the year, if you have ever ridden on a New York City subway train this bit of trivia might be interesting: the first rapid transit subway, the Inter-borough running beneath Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge to 145th Street, opened to the public in 1904.
Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,400.
