1882-S $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-64 NGC CAC (PL)
In 1882, the San Francisco Mint struck a limited run of 969,000 gold half eagles. These five-dollar gold pieces represent a classic era of American coinage, minted in 90 percent pure gold with a total gold content of 0.2419 troy ounces. The obverse features the traditional profile of Liberty, framed by the date 1882. This specific coin is certified in Mint State 64 with a prooflike designation, indicating highly reflective fields that contrast beautifully with the frosted details of the design. Marked with the 'S' mintmark on the reverse, this specimen survived the decades in an exceptional state of preservation, offering a vivid glimpse into nineteenth-century minting craftsmanship.
