The $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle is widely regarded as one of the most important gold coin series in US history. Its production spanned nearly 100 years, covering pivotal periods including the Civil War and the rise of the industrial age. Made from .900 fine gold with nearly one-quarter ounce of gold content, these coins combine lasting value with historical significance. This 1893 $5 Gold Half Eagle holds a Mint State 63 grade from either the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Now, 1893 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins in certified condition are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
These 1893 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins have MS63 grades. Coins in this condition showcase an attractive eye appeal, even with their slightly impaired mint luster. The average MS63 coin has several small contact marks, as well as a handful of heavier marks. Hairlines are possible as either individual hairlines or a single patch of hairlines.
The obverse of the 1893 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin presents a classic bust of Lady Liberty. Facing left, Liberty wears a coronet inscribed with LIBERTY, with thirteen stars around her and the date at the bottom. The design was originally by Christian Gobrecht and later refined by James B. Longacre in 1839.
The reverse of the 1893 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins features a detailed heraldic eagle. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch and bears a shield on its chest. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is inscribed above, with FIVE D below. The addition of IN GOD WE TRUST in 1866 reflects post-Civil War design updates.
The 1893 Liberty Half Eagle was produced at all three active minting facilities that year, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and New Orleans, with the Philadelphia issue carrying a mintage of 1,528,197 coins. The year 1893 is historically significant as the year of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, a moment of great national confidence and ambition that coincided with the early tremors of the financial Panic of 1893, a context that gives coins of this year an added layer of historical texture. Philadelphia examples are typically well struck and present attractively in all grades.
