1906 $5 Liberty NGC PF65 Cameo
Of the 85 proofs struck in this year, it is estimated that today some 60 pieces are in collections in all grades. This piece is deeply reflective and shows some beautiful gold frosting over all the devices, which yields a smooth, two-tone or "cameo" effect. This is somewhat unusual since the Mint went to a little- or no-contrast method of Proof finishing after 1901, with some contrast returning in 1905 and 1906 but rarely to this wonderful degree. Even reddish-golden color covers each side and there are no obvious or detracting blemishes present and little in the way of hairlines. A nearly superb Gem, therefore. Housed in NGC holder 1937983-002 and definitely worth your consideration.
