Description
The 2006 (S) San Francisco Old Mint Centennial Commemorative Five Dollar Gold is a commemorative dollar struck at the San Francisco Mint. With a mintage of 17,500, this is a scarce commemorative issue. The gold coin companion to the Old Mint dollar, this $5 piece features a vintage coin reverse design from the era when the San Francisco Mint was a major gold coinage facility. The obverse features the San Francisco Old Mint building from the original 1869 construction drawing, while the reverse displays a reproduction of the 1906 Coronet Liberty Half Eagle reverse, featuring an eagle with upraised wings. Designed by Charles Vickers, Joseph Mena/Christian Gobrecht. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams, 21.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #21012. The Old Mint $5 gold's connection to San Francisco's gold-coining heritage and its vintage reverse design make it particularly appealing to collectors of early U.S. gold coinage.
