1903 Choice Brilliant Proof and approaching a full Gem classification. This glorious two-tone specimen features full cameo design elements afloat in an ocean of liquid-glass reflectivity. The ''arm's length'' visual allure is that of a full Gem, and even close scrutiny uncovers only a modest degree of hairlining. Very rare. Of the 158 Proofs struck of this issue, only a fraction have managed to survive. Of the survivors, a significant number are clearly inferior to the specimen offered here.
