1907 Very Choice Brilliant Proof, a near-Gem of compelling beauty. Lightly frosted reliefs float upon the deepest mirror fields on this outstanding example of a Proof mintage of only 154 pieces. Here is a totally desirable representative of the final Liberty date and the last Brilliant Proof struck before the new Indian design was introduced with its distinctive Matte Proofs that replaced the mirror-field coins struck since the mid-19th century. The 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett auction record includes exactly three Proofs in this high grade.
Ex Stack's December 1980 Sale, lot 785.
