The 1875 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle is a key date in the Liberty Head series, distinguished by its rarity and the remarkably low mintage of Proof coins. Only 20 Proof specimens were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1875, making it one of the scarcest issues of the series. This coin's survival rate is extremely limited, with just a handful of examples known today.
The PR65 CAM (Proof 65 Cameo) grade is an exceptionally high designation, awarded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Coins with this grade exhibit remarkable preservation and near-flawless surfaces. The "Cameo" designation highlights the coin's stunning contrast between deeply mirrored fields and frosty, sharply struck devices, creating a striking visual effect.
The observe features the classical Liberty Head design by Christian Gobrecht. Liberty is depicted facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed with the word “LIBERTY.” Thirteen stars encircle her head, representing the original colonies, with the date "1875" displayed below.
The reverse displays a heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and preparedness for defense. The denomination “FIVE D.” is inscribed below, with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” surrounding the eagle.
