1901 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-66 NGC
Struck in 1901, this five dollar gold piece represents a classic era of United States coinage. Minted in Philadelphia, the coin carries no mintmark, which was the custom for the main facility at the time. Out of a total mintage of 615,900 pieces struck for this issue, this particular specimen has survived in an extraordinary state of preservation, earning a high grade of Mint State 66 (MS 66). This half eagle is composed of 90 percent gold, containing 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY, positioned above the date 1901. Finding a gold coin from this period in such a well-preserved condition offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistry of early twentieth-century American currency.
