Liberty Half Eagles
1904 $5 MS67 NGC. A highly lustrous and nicely struck apricot-gold Superb Gem, this high-end 1904 Liberty half eagle is both eye-catching and conditionally rare. The obverse is especially clean.
The 1904 Liberty half eagle is an available date, but the certified population declines significantly at the Gem level, and higher-grade coins are genuinely rare. None are graded finer than MS67 at PCGS, and NGC lists only one coin better. NGC and PCGS combined report only 15 grading events of this date in MS67 and finer. The conditional rarity is mainly a result of the incredible quality mandated by the grade, since this date is plentiful in the bagmarked grades of MS64 and lower. The 1904 is one of only a small number of Liberty half eagle issues that can be considered collectible in Superb Gem condition, even if barely. Census: 9 in 67, 1 finer (9/17).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2015), lot 7840.
