1873-S $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Fine-12 PCGS
This 1873 gold half eagle represents a fascinating moment in nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this five dollar piece carries the distinct 'S' mintmark, signaling its West Coast origin. It was part of a limited production run, with only 31,000 of these specific coins struck that year. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic Liberty design, with the word 'LIBERTY' visible on her coronet above the 1873 date. This particular specimen has survived the decades to be certified by professional graders in Fine 12 condition, showing honest wear from its time in circulation during a dynamic era of American history.
