The $5 Gold Half Eagle Liberty Head PCGS MS 62 (Random Year) coin represents a remarkable piece of American numismatic history and timeless investment value. Struck from .900 fine gold (containing 0.2419 troy oz of pure gold), this coin was minted between 1839 and 1908 and remains one of the most iconic pre-1933 U.S. gold coins. Graded MS 62 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), each coin is certified for its authenticity, luster, and exceptional mint-state preservation.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse of the coin features Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word “LIBERTY,” surrounded by 13 stars representing the original colonies. The reverse showcases the heraldic eagle with a shield, clutching arrows and an olive branch — a powerful symbol of American strength and peace. Each coin is encapsulated by PCGS to preserve its grade and protect it from handling or environmental wear.
The Liberty Head Half Eagle, also known as the Coronet Head, was introduced in 1839 and became one of the longest-running U.S. coin designs, remaining in circulation for nearly seven decades. It was minted in several U.S. branches — including Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City — symbolizing America’s westward expansion and economic growth. The design was eventually replaced by the Indian Head Half Eagle in 1908, marking the end of an era in classic American gold coinage.
