- Gem Cameo Proof 1901 Liberty Head $5 1901 Liberty Head Half Eagle. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). This is a bright, medium gold example painted in brassy-yellow shades. The fields are heavily mirrored and watery, providing considerable contrast against the densely frosted central elements. The surfaces are overall pristine and free from notable handling marks under a glass, contributing to the overall exceptional eye appeal. The Proof 1901 half eagle was produced to the extent of 140 coins and enjoys tremendous appeal among proof gold type collectors. Less than half of the original mintage can be traced today, with Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins: 1795-1933, 2008 edition) providing an estimate of just 50-60 coins extant. The present example is tied with just two other examples at NGC, one of which is the Ed Trompeter specimen. NGC Census: 3; 3 finer in this designation through Proof-67 Cameo. PCGS# 88496. NGC ID: 28D7. Click here for certification details from NGC.
