- 1903 Liberty Head Half Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-55 (PCGS). Warm honey-gold patina brightens to more of a golden-yellow hue as the surfaces dip into a light. Sharply struck with much of the Proof finish intact, this is an intriguing and desirable survivor that saw an uncommon degree of light handling for a Liberty Head gold coin produced in this format. The Philadelphia Mint struck 154 Proof half eagles in 1903, one of the more generous totals for the type. Most of these coins seem to have been distributed to contemporary collectors, this being one of the more frequently encountered Proof Liberty Head fives in today's market. All classic U.S. Mint Proof gold coins are rare in an absolute sense, however, especially relative to the demand that they enjoy among today's advanced numismatists. PCGS# 8498. NGC ID: 28D9.
