1901-P $5 Gold Liberty NGC/PCGS MS62

Beautiful And Scarce Turn-Of-The-Century Liberty Gold Coin

This beautiful 1901-dated $5 Gold Liberty coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 8.359 grams of highly pure 90% fine gold the same year Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt took over as President following the assassination of President William McKinley. President Roosevelt then played a large role in the design updates of American coinage. This coin features a design crafted by Christian Gobrecht, the U.S. Mint’s Third Chief Engraver, that shows Miss Liberty backed by a Heraldic Eagle with outstretched wings. The design was one of the longest-running design in U.S. history, appearing on the $5 Gold Half Eagle from 1939 to 1908—a span of nearly 70 years!

High-Grade Vintage Half Eagles!

Each 1901-P $5 Gold Liberty available here also comes certified by either the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Select Uncirculated Mint State-62 (MS62) condition—a remarkable grade considering the age of these coins and the fact that these types of coins were widely circulated and used by people every day for transactions large and small. Millions of these gold coins were melted in the 1930s after President Franklin D. Roosevelt recalled gold coins from the public in 1933. Millions more were lost to international business transactions where they were often melted or hidden away and forgotten in foreign bank vaults. We have only a few of these coins available, so HURRY!
