1891 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-64 PCGS CAC

---

In 1891, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of just 61,360 gold five-dollar pieces, commonly known as the Liberty Head half eagle. Struck from 0.900 fine gold, this coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. Finding specimens from this era in exceptional condition is a treat for historical enthusiasts, as many of these coins circulated heavily in daily commerce or were melted down in later decades. This particular specimen has survived the passage of time in an extraordinary state of preservation, graded Mint State 64 (MS-64). At this high grade tier, the coin retains its original mint luster and displays remarkably sharp details, offering a clear window into late nineteenth-century American coinage craftsmanship.
