In a safe, protective NGC holder, this coin simply must be called Ultra or Deep Cameo today. All 1899 Proofs are the same, or pretty much so, and if any other one is Ultra Cameo, then this piece is in spades! Just 86 Proofs were struck this year, of which very few survive today in the 65 quality offered here. This particular date has the obverse field deeply basined, from the die-making process, adding more curvature than normal, and giving an especially interesting cameo effect. Even if you do not contemplate buying it, check it out for the visual experience, perhaps comparing it to the modern Proofs offered by the mint which are not as energetically produced from "basined" dies (basining went out of fashion around 1909-16 when new coins were introduced). Such distinctions are not widely known. The present piece combines beauty, rarity, and everything else desirable. Certainly it will be exciting when the moment of sale occurs.
