The 1901-S Liberty Half Eagle is one of the most celebrated issues in the entire Liberty Head series, struck at the San Francisco Mint with a magnificent mintage of 3,648,000 coins, providing the highest production figure of any Liberty Half Eagle from any mint in the 20th century. San Francisco’s gold coinage in this period is consistently praised for its exceptional strike quality and surface preservation, and the 1901-S is widely regarded as one of the finest-struck issues in the series, with examples in mint state displaying a sharpness and luster that make them among the most visually impressive Liberty Half Eagles available to collectors.

All 1901-S Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are available here in Mint State 64+ condition, identifying a coin that represent the finest examples of an MS64 specimen. MS64 coins have attractive eye appeal with average luster. Small contact marks are present in groups, with one or two moderate marks possible as well. The coin may also have a few scattered hairlines or one small patch of hairlines.

The reverse of the 1901-S Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins features a heraldic eagle with a shield across its chest. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and FIVE D below. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST was added in 1866.
