The 1901-P 1901 $5 Gold Half Eagle PCGS MS63 is a Choice Uncirculated pre-1933 US gold coin from the Philadelphia Mint, certified and encapsulated by the Professional Coin Grading Service. Carrying a $5 face value, this Liberty Head Half Eagle belongs to one of America's most celebrated 19th-century gold series, designed by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht and refined by James Longacre. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars and dated 1901. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with spread wings, a shield on its breast, arrows and an olive branch in its talons, and the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE D. Struck in 0. 900 fine gold with a net gold weight of 0. 2419 troy oz, the 1901 Philadelphia issue is recognized for its strong strike and generous surviving population in Mint State -- making MS63 examples particularly satisfying acquisitions for type collectors and Liberty Head specialists alike.
