1886 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle PR-65 Cameo PCGS
In 1886, the Philadelphia Mint produced an exceptionally small run of proof gold coins, including this five dollar gold half eagle. Only seventy-two of these specific pieces were struck, making it a highly unusual survivor from the late nineteenth century. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, this coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features a classic depiction of Liberty, with the year 1886 clearly visible at the bottom of the design. This particular specimen is certified in Proof 65 Cameo condition, highlighting the sharp contrast between the frosted details of the design and the mirror-like fields of the coin's surface.
