  • The 1903 Proof Half Eagle is an elite rarity with a mintage of just 154 pieces, and appearances at auction are infrequent. This NGC Proof-68+ Cameo example, approved by CAC, represents the single finest known across all designations, with only one Ultra Cameo ever identified. The coin displays extraordinary contrast between razor sharp frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields. Preservation is virtually flawless, and the strike is precise throughout, clearly justifying the grade once in hand.

  • The 1867/67 is one of the most sought after repunched dates in the Indian cent series, bold enough to see without magnification and scarce within this semi key year.

Doubling on the obverse is clear, and the reverse shows a crisp strike with only light softness at the shield. Eye appeal is exceptional for this important variety.
