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.
