$5 Liberty Gold, Proof Values

Greysheet & Red Book® PRICE GUIDE

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the $5 Liberty Gold, Proof (1839–1907) series of Pre-1933 Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 205 distinct entries with CPG® values between $2,800.00 and $4,200,000.00.

Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the so-called Liberty head design was widely adopted for gold coinage starting in 1839 for the half-eagle ($5) denomination. Proof examples were struck in Philadelphia, mostly from 1856-1907. Earlier proof issues are known, but are exceedingly rare.
