详细说明

The Philadelphia Mint struck 154 Proof half eagles in 1903, one of the more generous totals for the type. However, perhaps only 110 pieces survive from the mintage, and the actual total may be closer to 90 coins. The present specimen is among the more impressive survivors of the issue, with fully Choice surfaces that sport dominant bright golden-yellow color. Mottled silvery overtones are largely confined to the obverse, and they assume more of a pale pinkish-rose hue as the coin dips into a light. Fully struck with a lovely all-brilliant finish, this coin's offering represents an important opportunity for the advanced connoisseur of Proof type coins or Liberty Head gold.
