1904 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle PR-67 PCGS

---

In 1904, the Philadelphia Mint produced a mere 136 proof examples of the Liberty Gold Half Eagle. This exceptionally low mintage makes any surviving specimen a significant find for those who appreciate the peak of early twentieth-century American numismatic craftsmanship. Struck in 0.900 fine gold with a net weight of 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal, this five-dollar denomination represents the long-running Liberty Half Eagle series just before the design era transitioned. The obverse of the coin features the classic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with her name, surrounded by thirteen stars with the date 1904 positioned below. On the reverse, a majestic eagle with outstretched wings shields its chest with a US flag-themed escutcheon, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons. The legend reads UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE D. to denote the face value. Because this coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it bears no mint mark. This specific coin has been certified in an extraordinary Proof 67 condition. Reaching such a high grade means the coin has survived more than a century with its original, mirror-like proof surfaces and sharp details virtually pristine, offering a rare window into the precise minting standards of 1904.
