1899-P $5 Gold Half Eagle PCGS MS62

The 1899-P $5 Gold Half Eagle PCGS MS62 is a pre-1933 United States gold coin graded Mint State 62 by the Professional Coin Grading Service and encapsulated in their signature tamper-evident holder. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 0.900 fine gold, this half eagle carries a gold weight of 0.2419 troy oz and a face value of five dollars. The obverse displays the enduring Liberty Head (Coronet) design by Christian Gobrecht, showing Lady Liberty in a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, encircled by thirteen stars and dated 1899. The reverse presents the classic heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast, clutching an olive branch and arrows, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcing above and FIVE D. below. The Liberty Head Half Eagle series ran from 1839 to 1908, making this 1899 Philadelphia issue a mid-series representative of late Victorian-era American gold coinage. At over 125 years old, it occupies a cherished niche in US type collecting and pre-1933 gold assembling. The PCGS MS62 designation places it firmly in the uncirculated tier, and the secure PCGS slab ensures the coin arrives in the same preserved state it was graded.
