In 1891 America was in the Gilded Age. People were living in relative prosperity and Victorian architecture changed the sightline of America’s cities from coast to coast. The 1891 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle, graded PCGS PR65 Deep Cameo (DCAM), represents one of the most extraordinary and visually captivating coins in late 19th-century U.S. numismatics. The 1891 $5 in
proof is one of the most elusive U.S. Mint issues of all time. With just 53 struck it often flies under the radar from some collectors, leaving an opportunity for astute buyers to pick up this classic rarity at an exceptional value.
The Proof-65 grade designates this coin as a gem, with pristine surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. The Deep Cameo designation signifies extraordinary contrast between the deeply frosted design devices and the mirrored fields, creating a striking visual effect. Such contrast is highly desirable and reserved for the finest examples of proof coinage, showcasing the Liberty Head design by Christian Gobrecht in its most dramatic form. Liberty's intricate coronet and the detailed feathers of the heraldic eagle are accentuated by this level of craftsmanship.
