WOW, this is far and away the finest 1900-P deep mirror prooflike on the planet as far as I’m concerned (and I’ve been an active player in this segment of the market since the mid-1970’s). It was Lot 2251 in the Heritage July-August 2008 Baltimore ANA Signature Sale wherein it realized $51,750 including the BP. It is excessively rare by any measure. With twenty three long years of grading under their belt PCGS has certified a mere four 1900-P dollars as deep mirror prooflikes – two MS64’s and two MS65’s of which this is the finest in regard to the sheer magnitude of its visual appeal. I had the opportunity to view the Levi Ranch specimen last year, and although a touch nicer from a purely technical perspective, the incredible monstrous eye appeal this specimen possesses brightly outshines the Levi Ranch coin by leaps and bounds in my opinion. This specimen is sharply struck with well preserved brilliant white surfaces without a trace of the grayish cast normally associated with this issue. The gleaming mirror fields are deeply reflective and bright silvery in coloration while the devices are abundantly coated with icy white mint frost, rendering a pronounced (and unexpected) black and white cameo contrast. This is truly a one-of-a-kind coin in regard to this date and a rare opportunity to acquire a peerless example of this issue. Off the chart flash and mind blowing visual appeal are the hallmarks of this exquisite jewel.
