1840 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle PCGS XF-45 CAC

Category: $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle
Wire/ACH/Check/Zelle Price
CAC. The 1840 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle represents the second year of Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Head design for the denomination, a type that would remain in production for nearly seven decades. Coins from this series carry a special historical appeal, for it is one of the longest-running designs in United States coinage history. The Liberty Head $5 gold piece is a very popular collectible among both type collectors and specialists in early gold.


This example is graded XF-45 by PCGS, showing honest circulation while retaining strong central detail and the classic appearance associated with lightly circulated early gold. PCGS has graded 61 examples at the XF-45 level, with 175 pieces certified finer, making it a respectable yet accessible grade for collectors seeking originality without the cost of higher Mint State pieces. The CAC population further underscores the selectivity of this piece, with only 5 examples approved in XF-45 and 46 graded finer.
