Liberty $5 - 1901/O-S MS 64

[Abaco24-migration]

Anyone know any other information about this piece or where to find more info on the overstrike? My first post so if this is a dumb question school me.

Welcome! I am not sure where to find info on this particular mintmark error but I'm sure some here will. You might try cherrypickers or coneca for more info.

Thant's a start, thanks, Google is no help so far.

[Die Varieties]

CPG Guide list it as 1901/00 FS#G-006 and has a pic. VF - $175 stating it is considered very scarce but seldom commands much premium over the price of the normal coin. Of course that's the old book and I havn't seen the new Vol II yet. Google search is a good start too.

Any listing for an MS-64 grade? CONECA was no help. Tried Google already.

[Die Varieties]

It just gives the VF price only. URS-8 (65 - 125 known). Wish I could be of more help.

Thanks so much, it's a hunt. All I have is the PCSG values now. I was hoping to find out if it's worth the purchase price, seems to be so far.

The one I'm looking at has 79 in grade 64, 25 higher, and a total pop 401. (Of course with just NGC and PCGS known numbers). When you subtract the above from the 401, that leaves 297 in all grades below MS-64. Total mint 3,684,000.

Any other comments after 34 views? Think I'll buy and holf for 5-8 years

Grey sheet is $2150. for MS64. They are close to Condition Rarity at that level. NGC has graded only 21 coins in MS64 with 14 higher. I put together a short set of 1900-08 Half Eagles and seldom saw this variety above AU58 during the (4) years that I was building the set.

 

The reality of US gold collecting is that populations sometimes do not reflect availability. Many of the scarcer dates and varieties are closely held and thus, don't trade very often. Looking at the pops of Half Eagles, it would appear that most post-1900 dates are readily available but this is not the case for several dates.

Great info, thanks for the support. This is a great website. Helped me make my decision.
