Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The $5 1995 Uncirculated Gold Eagle is considered common for the series. More than enough examples were struck to keep it from being scarce. Most examples that have been certified by PCGS appear to be in MS69 quality. Perfect MS70 examples are much scarcer but enough examples exist to keep prices reasonable compared to MS69 coins.
