1902-S $5

Description

1902-S $5 Gold Piece, NGC MS-63. This Liberty Head Half Eagle represents a classic example of early 20th-century American gold coinage. Minted at the San Francisco facility in 1902, this piece displays the iconic obverse design featuring Lady Liberty in profile, with the reverse showcasing a perched eagle—designs that defined American gold currency of the era. The NGC certification of MS-63 indicates this coin has retained substantial mint luster and eye appeal while showing only light, scattered contact marks consistent with the grade. The 1902-S is a moderately produced date within the Liberty Head series, making certified examples in this condition desirable for both type collectors and those building date-and-mintmark sets of five-dollar gold pieces. The San Francisco mint mark adds geographic significance to this piece. Certification: NGC MS-63 (Cert. #8382103005)
