The 1886-S $5 gold pieces bear a classic and popular depiction of Liberty, and were struck during the year that the beloved Statue of Liberty was erected and dedicated in New York harbor. The 1886-S coins were produced at the San Francisco Mint, and circulated throughout the western part of the country where gold and silver coins were the currency of choice. The 1886-S Liberty Head $5 gold piece is a prized keepsake of the Old West!
