1914-D $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-65 NGC

---

In 1914, the Denver Mint struck a limited run of just 247,000 gold half eagles, each carrying a face value of five dollars. These pieces represent a fascinating era of American gold coinage, minted shortly before global conflicts altered the landscape of circulating precious metals. The coin features the distinctive 'D' mint mark, indicating its origin from the Colorado facility. Crafted from 90 percent pure gold, this specific specimen contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. It has survived the decades in remarkable preservation, earning a high-grade certification of Mint State 65 (MS-65). This exceptional grade highlights the sharp details of the design, from the traditional inscriptions like 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' to the bold denomination of 'FIVE DOLLARS' on the reverse.
