Title:
Liberty Head (Coronet) Half Eagle style, 1877
Description:
Obverse: Left-facing Liberty head (Coronet/Liberty Head design) with coronet inscribed ’LIBERTY’ and thirteen stars around; date ’1877’ at lower rim. Reverse: Heraldic eagle with shield, arrows and olive branch, ribbon with motto and arc of stars above; legend ’UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ around top and ’FIVE DOLLARS’ at lower rim. Coin is mounted in a clear plastic round capsule with white foam ring. Proof-like deep mirror fields with frosted devices and a bright gold-colored finish. Appearance consistent with a Liberty Head (Coronet) Half Eagle style $5 coin or a modern commemorative/replica struck with the 1877 date and US shield/eagle reverse. High polish proof finish, likely a modern restrike, commemorative or privately produced gold-plated/medallic issue rather than original 19th-century business strike (based on overall look and capsule).
