Additional Description: Issued by the Philadelphia Mint in 1882, this Liberty Head five-dollar gold coin embodies the enduring confidence of the United States during a period of economic growth and industrial expansion. The Philadelphia Mint, the nation’s original coining institution, maintained a reputation for precision and consistency, qualities still evident here despite the passage of time. Believed to grade between Very Good and Fine, the piece shows moderate circulation wear that softens, but does not obscure, Liberty’s features and the proud form of the eagle on the reverse.
