The $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle represents one of the longest-running and most historically significant gold coin series in US history. Produced for nearly 100 years, it reflects periods of conflict, expansion, and economic growth, including the Civil War and the Gilded Age. These coins are struck in .900 fine gold and contain nearly a quarter ounce of gold, combining intrinsic value with historic character. This 1894 Liberty Half Eagle offers an impressive Mint State 64+ certification from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Now, certified 1898 Pre-33 $5 LIberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
These 1898 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are Mint State 64+ specimens, indicating a coin with the highest quality MS64 visuals. Coins at this level offer an attractive eye appeal with average mint luster. Several small contact marks are possible in groups, with only one or two heavier marks. One or two small hairlines may show as either individual hairlines or a small patch.
The obverse of the 1898 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin displays a refined portrait of Lady Liberty. Facing left, she wears a coronet marked LIBERTY, with thirteen stars surrounding the design and the date at the bottom. The original concept came from Christian Gobrecht and was later refined by James B. Longacre in 1839.
The reverse of the 1898 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins presents a heraldic eagle with a shield, arrows, and an olive branch. The inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves above, with FIVE D below. In 1866, the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST was added above the eagle as part of a broader design update.
The 1898 Liberty Half Eagle entered circulation at a moment of renewed American economic confidence, flowing through the commerce of a nation enjoying the prosperity of the late Gilded Age and the beginnings of what would become the Progressive Era. As with all Liberty Head Half Eagles, these coins served as genuine working currency in an era when gold held a central and honored place in the American monetary system, used in significant transactions by banks, merchants, and individuals who trusted the weight and purity of US gold coinage above all other forms of exchange.
