A terrific opportunity to acquire a true condition-rarity Liberty Head Half Eagle at an approachable level, this 1891 $5 Gold Liberty is certified PCGS MS63 and further endorsed by CAC for premium quality within the grade.

With a modest Philadelphia mintage of just 61,360 pieces, the 1891 is a scarce issue overall. PCGS notes a survival estimate of only about 225 pieces in Mint State 60 or better, and describes strictly Uncirculated examples as rare.

CAC-approved examples of the 1891 $5 Liberty are scarce, and the date becomes notably more difficult in higher Mint State grades.

What makes this coin especially compelling is the price jump from this grade to the next. The CAC Price Guide values MS63 at $2,300, while MS64 jumps to $3,100, making this piece a smart value for collectors who want a scarce, CAC-approved example without stretching into the next price tier.

This is exactly the kind of coin advanced collectors pursue:
a better-date Liberty Half Eagle, in true Mint State, with CAC approval, and available at a very affordable price level relative to its rarity.

Don’t miss this chance to own a CAC-approved 1891 $5 Liberty, a scarce late-date Half Eagle with real condition-rarity appeal and excellent value in PCGS MS63.
