<B>1903 $2 1/2 PR65 Cameo NGC.</B></I> The reverse exhibits unimprovable cameo contrast, and the stars, the date, and Liberty's hair are also frosty. Extended rotation of this mirrored Gem beneath a light and loupe cannot find any remotely mentionable hairlines. Although business strike Liberty quarter eagles from this era are also well struck, proofs are readily distinguished by the reflectivity of their fields and the squared edges of the denticles. On business strikes, the edges of the denticles tend to slope toward the field.<BR>For the 1903, 197 proofs were struck, but fewer than that number has survived unimpaired. NGC has certified 88 pieces in all grades, but almost certainly, a portion of that figure reflects resubmissions over the past 20 years. Census: 4 in 65 Cameo, none finer with a Cameo designation (9/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
