Description

1901 $5 Gold Piece, NGC MS-66. This exceptional 1901 $5 gold coin represents a desirable example from the early Liberty Head half eagle series. Graded MS-66 by NGC (Certificate #8211738003), this piece displays the quality and eye appeal expected of a high-grade specimen from this popular vintage. The Liberty Head design, created by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht and modified by James B. Longacre, remained a staple of American gold coinage throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The 1901 date falls within a period of strong gold production and represents the enduring appeal of this classic design to contemporary collectors and investors alike. At the MS-66 level, this coin exhibits strong luster, well-defined strike characteristics, and minimal handling marks—qualities that distinguish it from lower-grade examples and make it suitable for discerning collectors seeking quality pre-1933 gold coinage. The technical certification provides confidence in both authenticity and grade consistency. Starting Bid: $2,850
