Description: 1880-S Liberty $5, Half Eagle, authenticated / graded / encapsulated by PCGS at Select Uncirculated, MS-62 - but strong for its grade with its clear strike and orange toning. This specimen is from the national growth years of the 1880s, with the motto "In God We Trust" prominently displayed on the reverse of larger gold coins, a category which starts at the workhorse $5 Gold Eagle level. This strike is strong and a good representation of the quality practiced at the historical San Francisco mint with its plentiful supply of mined Western gold in planchets. Such coins, if uncirculated like this one, were saved as collector specimens or far Western bank reserves, then as bank bullion coins after 1933 in European reserves; then after American gold coins rose enough in value, resold to return to North American markets. This coin is for the savvy collector who wants a pristine example of this gold series and the times. Shipped free.
