1899 Liberty Gold Half Eagle ($5)

The 1899 Liberty Half Eagle represents the height of America's gold coinage during the late Victorian era. While not a rare date outright, finding an example this nice is quite uncommon.

This MS66 example certified by NGC displays exceptional eye appeal with rich, satiny luster that radiates across pristine surfaces. The strike is bold and complete, with sharp details in the stars, hair curls, and eagle's feathers. The surfaces are remarkably clean for the grade, showing virtually no contact marks or imperfections. The original mint bloom gives the coin a stunning orange-gold color that's both rich and intense.
