Additional Description: Minted at the San Francisco Mint in 1901, this Liberty Head five-dollar gold coin represents a mature example of a series long cherished for its balance of elegance and utility. Believed to range between Fine and Fine-Very Fine, the coin preserves distinct elements in Liberty’s portrait and the eagle’s plumage, despite the soft wear acquired through circulation. San Francisco strikes of this period are especially evocative, produced close to the nation’s gold sources and widely circulated across the West.
