The $5 Liberty Gold coin, also known as the Liberty Head or “Liberty Gold” coin, was produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1908. The 1893 Philadelphia minting is particularly notable among collectors due to its historical context and relatively low mintage compared to other years. This coin features a portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, both of which are emblematic of American coinage during that era. The $5 denomination, consisting of 90% gold and 10% copper, weighs 8.359 grams and has a diameter of 21.6 mm. Collectors often seek this coin for its artistic design, gold content, and investment potential.
