The $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle is one of the most established and historically relevant series in American coinage. Its production extended across nearly a century, capturing key moments such as the Civil War, the Gilded Age, and the early years of the 20th century. Struck in .900 fine gold with an actual gold weight close to one-quarter ounce, these coins offer both tangible metal value and the enduring appeal of pre-1933 US gold. This 1898 Liberty Half Eagle was struck near the end of the 19th century and features a Mint State 63 certification. Today, 1898 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1898 Liberty Half Eagle was produced at Philadelphia with a mintage of 633,420 coins, placing it among the moderately scarcer Philadelphia issues of the late 1890s and giving it a collector appeal that reflects both its relative availability and its position in the final decade of the long-running Liberty Head series. The late 1890s were a prosperous period for the United States, with the economy recovering strongly and gold production at healthy levels, a context reflected in the consistent quality of Half Eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint during these years.
All 1898 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins available here come in Mint State 63 condition. Coins with this grade maintain an attractive eye luster, even with a slightly impaired mint luster. Numerous small contact marks are likely, with a few heavier marks also possible. Hairlines will present as either individual flaws or a single patch of hairlines.
The obverse of the 1898 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin features a left-facing image of Lady Liberty. She is depicted wearing a coronet inscribed with LIBERTY, encircled by thirteen stars symbolizing the original colonies, with the date shown below. The design was first introduced by Christian Gobrecht and later refined by James B. Longacre in 1839.
On the reverse of the 1898 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins is a heraldic eagle with a shield across its chest. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch, while UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears above and FIVE D is placed below. The addition of IN GOD WE TRUST in 1866 marked a notable update following the Civil War.
