1852 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle AU-55 NGC
In 1852, the Philadelphia Mint produced 573,901 gold half eagles, each carrying a face value of five dollars. These pieces were struck from 0.900 fine gold, containing 0.2419 troy ounces of the precious metal. This particular specimen survived the decades in remarkable shape, earning a certified grade of About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55). Because it was minted at the main Philadelphia facility, the coin features no mint mark. The obverse displays the classic Liberty profile wearing a coronet, with the year 1852 clearly struck below her portrait. This coin serves as a tangible survivor from the mid nineteenth century, offering a direct window into the early gold coinage of the United States.
