Additional Description: Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1897, this Liberty Head five-dollar gold coin reflects the continued elegance and practicality of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Graded Fine, the piece displays moderate circulation wear while retaining clear outlines of Liberty’s portrait and the eagle’s detailing on the reverse. Philadelphia issues of this period were produced primarily for use in everyday transactions, and the coin’s warm surfaces and even wear testify to its life in commerce.
