The listed metal amount is 0.2419 oz. The stated certification is NGC MS64.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHistory and background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiberty Head gold belongs to the United States’ nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century circulating coinage. The quarter eagle, half eagle, eagle and double eagle were distinct denominations, with their own specifications and design histories. Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Head work influenced the smaller eagle denominations, while James B. Longacre designed the Liberty Head double eagle. The name of the design family does not make every denomination the same coin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and product identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Liberty portrait and an eagle-based reverse connect these issues with the national imagery of their era. Denomination, motto and date details vary across the series. The original face value identifies a monetary unit rather than a troy ounce amount, and the gold alloy means gross weight and fine gold content are different measurements. An appropriate description therefore combines the specific denomination with its condition and any certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed metal amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2419 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFineness or alloy:\u003c\/strong\u003e .900 fine gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint or maker attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrading service:\u003c\/strong\u003e NGC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e MS64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e GLIB5N64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the metal content\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecious metal ounce weights use the troy system. One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams, while a kilogram equals one thousand grams. Fineness states the proportion of precious metal in an alloy; fine metal weight states the amount of that metal. An alloyed coin’s gross weight includes its other metals as well. These measurements explain why a denomination, a package weight and a stated fine metal amount should not be treated as the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCertification and the stated grade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNGC stands for Numismatic Guaranty Company. The service authenticates and grades submitted coins rather than manufacturing the original issue. This offering is identified as MS64. The numeric assessment concerns condition, not gold or silver purity. A certification number identifies a grading record, while the issue date identifies the coin. The holder label can also carry designations that are separate from both the coin’s denomination and its metal content. MS means Mint State and belongs to the uncirculated range of the traditional grading scale. An uncirculated coin can still have production or handling marks, so the number supplies a more specific assessment than the word uncirculated alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreserving the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreserving the surface and the original identifying information helps retain the product’s physical history. Handle an unencapsulated collectible by its edges where appropriate and avoid polishing or abrasive cleaning. Keep a certified holder or stated assay package intact when retaining its identification matters. A brighter surface created by cleaning is not the same thing as a higher original condition grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, design and numismatic identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA product’s history is carried by several different kinds of information. The issuing or manufacturing name explains its origin, the design identifies its subject, the metal specification describes its material and the condition language describes its preservation. A date can connect the piece with a particular program or historical period without proving that it is rare. These features remain meaningful together even when two offerings contain similar amounts of precious metal. Keeping them distinct provides a more accurate description of the actual object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"kz-product-sources\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and technical references:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/learn\/coins-and-medals\/circulating-coins\/gold-eagles\"\u003eU.S. Mint background\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ngccoin.com\/coin-grading\/grading-scale\/\"\u003eNGC grading reference\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kzoo Bullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52518331875623,"sku":"GLIB5N64","price":1317.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/5046\/7367\/files\/media_02e3ff3a-8fbf-4af5-a36e-307380e05490.jpg?v=1793706115","url":"https:\/\/kzoobullion.com\/products\/5-gold-liberty-half-eagle-ngc-ms64","provider":"Kzoo Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
