Lot Description

A fully struck and handsome example with warm rose-orange color that is noticeably bolder on the obverse. Lustrous and smooth, it is difficult for us to imagine a more inviting Liberty Head half eagle at the assigned grade level. Similar in rarity to the 1902 and 1903, the 1905 is a lower mintage issue (302,200 circulation strikes) for a 20th century $5 Lib that is far more elusive in the finest Mint State grades than many collectors realize. Indeed, this lovely MS-66 ranks among the finer known to PCGS.
