Recent appearances:
NGC Proof-65 Cameo (illustrated above). Ex - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles,
Inc.'s "The California Sale", October 2-3, 2000, Lot 701, sold
for $9,200.00, where
it was described (in part) as follows: "A glittering gem proof that
boasts the curious "all mirror" style attendant to the first few
years of the last century. Liberty and the devices are not frosted as in
the past, and the coin is reflective, both fields and devices. As a Cameo
proof, 1903 is extremely rare, most do not qualify as a "cameo"
proof, which makes this coin extra special. The delicate surfaces are
superb, with no signs of handling or abuse which are so apparent in the
fields. NGC has only graded 2 as such, none graded higher of the
"cameo" designation, but as a date, a total of 15 have been
graded PF-65 with 6 graded higher (all PF-66). Of the 197 coined in proof,
perhaps a third remain in various proof grades, this obviously near the
top of those known."
