The $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle stands as a key series in American numismatic history, with production spanning nearly a century. It reflects important eras such as the Civil War and the Gilded Age, offering a tangible link to the nation’s past. Each coin is struck in .900 fine gold and contains nearly one-quarter ounce of gold. This 1901 $5 Half Eagle features a strong Mint State 64+ certification from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Right now, certified 1901 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1901 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin available here comes in Mint State 64+ condition. The plus indicates a coin at the top of its grading level, a prime example of the standards for the grade. MS64 coins exhibit quite attractive eye appeal with average luster. Several small contact marks may be present in groups, with one or two moderate marks possible. One or two small patches of hairlines may also show.
The 1901 Philadelphia Liberty Half Eagle was produced with a mintage of 615,900 coins, making it a moderately scarce issue from a year that also saw significant production at the San Francisco Mint, a split that gives collectors two distinct and complementary options for the date. Philadelphia examples of 1901 are well regarded for their strike quality, with the Liberty portrait and reverse eagle showing the crisp, confident execution characteristic of the parent mint’s gold coinage in the early years of the new century.
The obverse of the 1901 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with LIBERTY. Thirteen stars surround her, with the date below. The design was created by Christian Gobrecht and later refined by James B. Longacre in 1839.
The reverse of the 1901 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins includes a heraldic eagle with a shield, arrows, and an olive branch. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is inscribed above, with FIVE D below. IN GOD WE TRUST was added to the design in 1866.
