The $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle is one of the most historically significant gold coin series produced in the United States. Its nearly century-long production spans events such as the Civil War and the rise of industrial America. Struck in .900 fine gold with nearly a quarter ounce of gold, these coins offer both intrinsic worth and historical relevance. This specimen from the American West features a strong Mint State 64+ certification from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Today, 1901-S Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1901-S Liberty Half Eagle is one of the most celebrated issues in the entire Liberty Head series, struck at the San Francisco Mint with a magnificent mintage of 3,648,000 coins, providing the highest production figure of any Liberty Half Eagle from any mint in the 20th century. San Francisco’s gold coinage in this period is consistently praised for its exceptional strike quality and surface preservation, and the 1901-S is widely regarded as one of the finest-struck issues in the series, with examples in mint state displaying a sharpness and luster that make them among the most visually impressive Liberty Half Eagles available to collectors.
All 1901-S Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are available here in Mint State 64+ condition, identifying a coin that represent the finest examples of an MS64 specimen. MS64 coins have attractive eye appeal with average luster. Small contact marks are present in groups, with one or two moderate marks possible as well. The coin may also have a few scattered hairlines or one small patch of hairlines.
The obverse of the 1901-S Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin shows Lady Liberty in a left-facing profile. She wears a coronet labeled LIBERTY, with thirteen stars around the design and the date below. The design was introduced by Christian Gobrecht and refined by James B. Longacre in 1839.
The reverse of the 1901-S Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins features a heraldic eagle with a shield across its chest. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and FIVE D below. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST was added in 1866.
