Liberty Half Eagles
1897 $5 MS65+ PCGS. Five dollar gold coin output at the Mint increased by nearly 15 times between 1896 and 1897 (867,800 pieces). It should come as little surprise, then, that this represents one of the most accessible dates in the series. At the Gem grade level, the 1897 begins to pose a formidable challenge, and Plus-designated examples are among the finest obtainable representatives. This MS65+ half eagle radiates frosty mint luster over clean, apricot-gold surfaces. Well-struck at the centers. Population: 36 in 65 (4 in 65+), 2 finer (11/16).
