    Description

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    This 1901-S Liberty Head Half Eagle has been graded MS-63 (Choice Uncirculated) by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), one of the two leading third-party coin grading services. The grade reflects strong mint luster, a well-struck design, and only minor contact marks consistent with the MS-63 level.
    The 1901-S Liberty Head Half Eagle contains 0.2419 troy oz of gold. The coin is struck in 0.900 fine gold — the standard composition used for U.S. gold coinage throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries — giving it both numismatic and precious metal appeal.
    This coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the S mintmark on the reverse. The San Francisco facility was known for producing well-struck, high-quality gold coinage, and the 1901-S is a readily collected date that is popular among Liberty Head Half Eagle type and date set collectors.
    Yes. The Liberty Head Half Eagle series ran from 1839 to 1908 and is one of the most actively collected 19th-century U.S. gold series. The 1901-S fits naturally into a date-and-mintmark set of this series, and its MS-63 grade makes it a strong representative for a gold type set as well.
