1894(P) $5 Gold Liberty NGC/PCGS MS62

Exquisite 1894 $5 Gold Liberty Half Eagles In Pristine Mint State

From the moment the first of these coins rolled out of the United States Mint in 1839 to their final curtain call in 1908, the $5 Gold Liberty Half Eagle served as the fuel of business across the country. This workhorse coin of commerce had the perfect balance of its time—a large enough denomination for most day-to-day transactions, yet small enough for merchants to easily make change. Imagine a coin with the same ubiquity and utility as today's $20 bill, and you get the idea!

Once Everywhere, Now Hard To Find!

Of course, popularity in circulation can be a bad sign for a coin’s longevity. Even though these $5 coins were minted in large quantities, their constant use combined with the gold recall of 1933 reduced their numbers significantly. Millions of gold coins were melted during the Gold Recall of 1933. In order to help an economy that was still floundering following the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt the best way to fight off an economic downturn was to inflate the money supply as well as increase the amount of gold held by the Federal Reserve—which would in turn increase its power to inflate the money supply. So, on April 5, 1933, Roosevelt signed an executive order known as the Gold Recall of 1933, requiring all Americans to trade in their gold, gold bullion and gold certificates. Millions of gold coins were melted. Today, nobody knows how many of these $5 Gold Liberty coins still exist—and it’s especially difficult to find one in highly graded condition. Fortunately, you don’t have to look any further!
