Lot 1179 - 1904 $5 Liberty PCGS PR66
1904 $5 Liberty. Satiny and superb devices surrounded with outstanding deep golden glitter, the mirrors deep, fresh, in fact, <I>dazzling!</I> None of the usual copper spotting on this majestic specimen, Liberty's face and the fields are simply pristine, and such quality is amazing to behold. The mint struck a total of 85 Profs in all of 1906. As seems fitting and ideal, this coin ranks among the finest recorded and is sharper than the illustrious Trompeter specimen by 2 full points! (PCGS encapsulated, #6584299.)
