Lot Description

A stunning Ultra Gem Cameo Proof with gently mottled sunset-orange and rose-gray iridescence adorning the obverse. The reverse is virtually brilliant, and both sides are expertly preserved to approach numismatic perfection. Nicely cameoed in finish, as well, with equally outstanding technical quality and eye appeal.<p>The 1905 is the final Proof Barber half dollar issue with a mintage in excess of 700 pieces, the 727 coins struck all delivered from a single pair of dies (typical for this series). This is the single finest certified survivor, a true wonder coin for the issue that numbers among the leading highlights in the outstanding Young-Dakota Collection.
