1903-S $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-65 PCGS
In 1903, the San Francisco Mint struck a significant run of five-dollar gold coins, producing 1,855,000 pieces of this classic denomination. Known as the Half Eagle, this coin is struck in 0.900 fine gold, containing 0.2419 troy ounces of the precious metal. This particular specimen has survived the decades in exceptional condition, graded as a superb Mint State 65 (MS-65). The obverse features the iconic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with her name. Below her portrait, the date 1903 is clearly struck. The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle, surrounded by the country's name, the denomination, and the traditional mottoes of the United States. A small 'S' mint mark below the eagle identifies its origin from the historic California minting facility.
