1901 $5

Description

1901 $5 Gold Coin. This 1901 $5 gold piece represents a significant example from the early Liberty Head Half Eagle series. The coin displays the classic design featuring Lady Liberty in profile on the obverse, with the American eagle in repose on the reverse—a design that remained largely consistent throughout the series' production run. Graded NGC MS-66, this specimen exhibits exceptional eye appeal and preservation for its age. The bright luster and sharp striking details characteristic of high-grade examples from this era are evident, with minimal surface marks consistent with the assigned grade. The 1901 date falls within a period of relatively straightforward mintage, making this an accessible yet desirable addition to pre-1933 gold collections. As a certified piece from a foundational year in American coinage, this half eagle appeals to both type collectors seeking quality examples and those building comprehensive date sets of the Liberty Head series. Starting Bid: $2,850. NGC Certification #8211738003
