Lot #429 - 1906 NGC PR-66 Star CAC
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Dab Revisited Consignment. 1 graded PR-66+, 6 higher at NGC, however, at last check, the cataloger could not find in the NGC population report any mention of the present PR-66 "star" example, even though it was certified at least some twenty years ago. In 1906, the mint produced merely 85 proof half-eagles, the lowest mintage since 1898, and these were struck under different aesthetic intent from 19th century pieces. Cameo designations are extremely rare (and DCAM unheard-of) for the late-dates in the series. In this case, NGC did not go quite that far with designation, yet the "star" designation for superior eye-appeal clearly denotes the borderline cameo effect produced by delicate matte texture on the portraits. Mirrors are as deep as ever for the series -- the mint had merely elected to move to an "all brilliant" proof format early in the 1900s.

Curiously, it is actually more difficult to describe high-grade proof examples compared to coins with anomalies that require mention. Here, the surfaces are so immaculate and filled with pristine old-gold character that there is practically nothing off-quality to mention. Extremely faint handling marks can be found with persistence, lurking beneath Liberty's chin and an overly aggressive review finds one single diagonal hairline near the bottom of the obverse right field (ignoring a hairline on the slab itself that reflects in the mirror).

Hammer: $3,000
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-12a (R.4). There exists an outrageous million dollar NGC MS-68 example struck from K-10 dies, but one can count on this moderately worn and carefully repaired example to sell for a fraction of that amount. Perhaps smoothed and retextured a bit so as to minimize the effects of deeper abrasions.
