A CHOICE Mint State example of this scarce, early date Lib $5. Just over 117,000 were struck, and most went right into circulation. David Akers noted these are RARE in AU or Mint State. Brilliant honey gold surfaces gleam with a strong, vibrant luster. There are accents of semi-reflective brilliance that add to the flashy look. The sharply struck devices are a delight to behold, with all the details bold. We note some light lines and contact but there is no wear or friction anywhere to be found. Despite the minor flaws, the eye appeal is sensational! PCGS 8, NGC 4. A recent sale from February 2021 brought $3,360, close to the current PCGS Price Guide of $3,750. VERY RARE any finer, just a dozen have been graded higher at PCGS. What a great looking coin that will fit nicely in any gold coin type set or advanced collection of $5 Liberty Heads. Good luck.
