Lovely Proof 1903 Half Eagle 1903 Liberty Head Half Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Highly attractive with vivid golden-wheat coloration throughout. Both sides are fully struck, with razor sharp detail to even the most intricate design elements. A modest satin texture blankets the design elements, especially those on the reverse, instilling a modest cameo-like complexion. 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 original mintage, and the actual total may be closer to 90 coins. The present specimen is among the more impressive survivors of the issue, and its offering represents an important opportunity for the advanced connoisseur of Proof type coins or Liberty Head gold. PCGS Population: 1; 9 finer in this category (Proof-67 finest). PCGS# 8498. NGC ID: 28D9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
