1881 Liberty Head $5 Gold Half Eagle

The 1881 Liberty Head $5 gold piece is a treasured keepsake from an eventful year in U.S. history: President James Garfield was mortally wounded, William Bonney (Billy the Kid) was tracked down and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett, and the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday broke up the Clanton gang at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Part of the fun of coin collecting is wondering where your coins may have been and who may have used them!
