Numismatic experts note that superb Proof Liberty half eagles (PR66 and above) are "very rare" and suggest they are undervalued relative to corresponding $10 and $20 gold proofs. This PF68 Ultra Cameo grade signals that this 1900 half eagle is virtually the best one can obtain, with its few peers tightly held in advanced collections.
