1869 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle AU-55 NGC
The 1869 Liberty Gold Half Eagle represents a remarkably quiet moment in American coining history. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the post-Civil War era, this five dollar gold piece belongs to an exceptionally small production run. Only 1,760 of these coins were ever minted, making any surviving specimen a rare find for those who appreciate the scarcity of nineteenth-century American currency. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, this coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was struck in Philadelphia, it bears no mint mark. This particular survivor has been certified in About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55) condition, preserving the intricate details of the classic Liberty design and the reverse eagle from a year when very few such coins ever entered circulation.
