    Description

    The 1908 Liberty Head Half Eagle $5 Gold NGC MS62 is a classic pre-1933 U. S. gold coin certified uncirculated at MS-62 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (cert #3376141-017). Struck in gold at 0. 2419 troy oz, this Half Eagle carries a $5 face value and represents the long-running Liberty Head (Coronet) series designed by Christian Gobrecht and refined over decades of U. S. Mint production. The obverse presents the left-facing Coronet Liberty portrait encircled by thirteen stars and dated 1908, while the reverse features a bold heraldic eagle bearing a shield on its breast, clutching an olive branch and arrows, inscribed UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE D. Notably, 1908 marks the final year of the Liberty Head Half Eagle design before it was replaced by Bela Lyon Pratt's Indian Head type — making this date a natural bookend for type collectors and series specialists alike. The coin arrives sealed in its NGC sonically sealed holder, providing a tamper-evident, archival-quality presentation ready for a collection or display.

    Frequently asked questions

    This coin has been graded MS-62 (Mint State) by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), one of the two most respected third-party grading services in numismatics. The NGC certification number is 3376141-017, which can be verified in NGC's online registry. MS-62 denotes a fully uncirculated example with moderate surface marks.
    1908 is the final year of the Liberty Head (Coronet) Half Eagle design, which had been produced since 1839. That year the U.S. Mint transitioned to Bela Lyon Pratt's Indian Head design. As the last-year issue of a nearly 70-year series, the 1908 date holds particular appeal for type collectors and series completionists alike.
    The 1908 Liberty Head Half Eagle contains 0.2419 troy oz of gold, consistent with the standard composition of U.S. $5 Half Eagle gold coins produced during this era. This makes it a substantive gold holding in addition to its collectible numismatic value.
    The coin is housed in an NGC sonically sealed hard plastic holder (slab), which provides a tamper-evident, archival-quality enclosure. This holder protects the coin's surfaces during shipping and long-term storage, and it arrives ready to add directly to a certified coin collection or display.
