1868 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle AU-58 NGC
The year 1868 saw an incredibly small production of half eagles at the Philadelphia Mint. Only 5,700 of these five dollar gold pieces were struck, making surviving specimens highly prized by historical enthusiasts. This particular coin has survived in an exceptional About Uncirculated state, officially graded as AU 58. Constructed from 0.900 fine gold, this coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic Liberty design, with the date 1868 clearly visible beneath the portrait. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, the coin bears no mint mark, representing a quiet survivor from a fascinating era in American coinage history.
