1905 Gold $2.50 Liberty MS68 { PCGS-4 } (May'2018) - Top Pop 5/0 - Satiny gold evenly bathes both sides of this premium gem in original mint-fresh color. There are no spots or discolorations on this grade-appropriate beauty. The strike of Miss Liberty is strong and the fields are blemish-free; and, the eye appeal is phenomenal! The dawn of the 20th Century saw the hero of the charge up San Juan Hill begin serving his second term as president; although, the first that he won running for the office. Under his stewardship work on the Panama Canal had begun. Before his term would end, new designs for US gold coinage would be introduced, replacing these classic Liberty designs that had only slightly evolved from the early days of the republic. This Top-Pop gem has just four siblings and displays incredible luster beaming from its surfaces.

One of the most common dates of this series. Usually available in proof or uncirculated condition since this and other late date Liberty Head quarter eagles rarely circulated.
