Less than 1% Were Minted in the Final Year Dear Reader, You may be familiar with the 1906 Gold Liberty Half Eagle Coin, struck well over a century ago, with its classic Christian Gobrecht Liberty design. From the moment the first of these coins rolled out of the U.S. Mint in the mid-1800s, to their final curtain call just after the Turn of the Century, the $5 Gold Liberty Half Eagle served as the fuel of business across the country. This workhorse coin of commerce had the perfect balance of its time - a large enough denomination for most day-to-day transactions, yet small enough for merchants to easily make change. During its series, from 1898-1908, this popular $5 gold piece was the only U.S. coin to be struck at every U.S. Mint (except the West Point Mint, which didn’t have mint status until 1988), including Philadelphia, Charlotte, Dahlonega, New Orleans, Carson City, Denver and San Francisco. In its time, it was as well-known as today’s $20 bill. Still, for a variety of reasons I’ll explain, the coin is a tough get for collectors these days. The Gold Rush Mint in San Francisco The San Francisco Mint owes it's very existence to the California Gold Rush, which began with the discovery of significant gold deposits near Sacramento in 1848, precipitating a need for a western mint to turn the gold into coin. On April 3, 1854, the San Francisco Mint began accepting gold from miners, and produced $4,084,207 of gold coins in the first year.

The building was designed with a concrete and granite foundation, leading the mint’s nickname, the “Old Granite Lady”.

Though it lasted less than a minute, the earthquake caused widespread damage, igniting fires around the city that raged for days and destroying nearly 500 city blocks. An estimated 3,000 lives were lost, thousands suffered injuries, and half the city’s 400,000 residents were left homeless. Property losses were estimated at more than $400 million in 1906 dollars - equivalent to around $10.52 billion in today;s dollars. Devastation All Around, Yet the “Old Granite Lady” Remained Standing Even as the building was engulfed in flames, the San Francisco Mint stood strong- the only building left standing for blocks amidst the devastation. Despite some damage, mint employees were able to protect more than $300 million in precious metals and currency - in effect saving the U.S. economy.

Out of the total mintage, 23,995,340 were struck at the San Francisco Mint, that’s less than 40% of the entire series. In 1906, the final year, only 598,000 were struck. That’s only 2.49% of the total mintage from S-mint, and less than 1% of the total series from all U.S. Mints. Millions Melted, Millions Lost Millions were produced, millions were melted during President Franklin Roosevelts 1933 Gold Recall, and nobody knows how many of these $5 Gold Liberty coins still exist still today. One thing is for sure however: of the 60+million coins Gold Liberty coins that were minted between 1898 and 1908, only 275,000 coins have been professionally graded and certified from the entire series. As that still exist, a key date as the final year of release by the San Francisco Mint, only 1,400 coins have been professionally graded. and certified by PCGS.
