1901-S Liberty Head Half Eagle $5 Gold NGC MS63

The 1901-S Liberty Head Half Eagle $5 Gold NGC MS63 is a choice uncirculated example of one of American numismatics' most enduring gold coin series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1901, this $5 Half Eagle carries 0. 2419 troy oz of 0. 900 fine gold in the classic format that circulated as everyday commerce from 1839 through 1908. The obverse presents the Coronet Liberty Head — Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, encircled by thirteen stars and dated 1901 — while the reverse showcases the heraldic bald eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows, inscribed UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE D. The San Francisco Mint S mintmark appears on the reverse below the eagle. At MS-63, this coin displays substantial remaining mint luster and sharp strike detail characteristic of the productive San Francisco facility. The 1901-S is a date recognized by collectors for its strong strike and availability in Mint State, making this NGC-certified example a compelling centerpiece for any U. S. gold type or date set. The coin is securely housed in its original NGC sonically sealed slab with holographic security sticker on the reverse.
