Offered here is a rare and desirable 1860-S $5 Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle, certified MS-8 by CACG. Struck at the San Francisco Mint just before the Civil War, this coin features Christian Gobrecht’s timeless Liberty Head design and contains 0.24187 oz of gold (90% gold, 10% copper). Known for its low survival rate in Mint State, the 1860-S is a challenging date for collectors, especially in such a high grade. The CACG MS-8 designation confirms strong eye appeal, minimal abrasions, and exceptional overall quality. A standout piece for advanced collectors of U.S. gold or Liberty Head series enthusiasts.
