Lot Description

Simply put, this is one of the finest, most visually appealing Proof half dollars of this date available to today's discerning numismatists. Pristine-looking surfaces are untoned apart from delicate champagne-pink iridescence at the peripheries. The strike is full, the motifs lightly frosted and nicely contrasted with highly reflective fields.<p>As with the Proof 1902, the Proof 1903 is an issue for which the Mint reduced the die frosting and for which deeply cameoed specimens are virtually unknown. Of the 600 to 700 believed extant from a mintage of 755 pieces, this Superb Cameo Proof is all but unsurpassable in quality for the issue. Worthy of the strongest bids.
