2006 S San Francisco Old Mint $5 Gold MS

Rare. Only 17000(approx.) minted.

Beautiful $5 Gold, Uncirculated MS coin (this is NOT a proof it's Mint State Coin)

Very Rare Low mintage coin - MS.

ONLY around MS 17,000 coins minted. (circulation for proofs is much higher)


The obverse design of the $5 gold coin is a rendition of the Old Mint modeled on the original 1869 construction drawing by A.B. Mullett. The reverse design is a replica of the 1906 Half-Eagle Coronet Liberty eagle reverse, designed by Christian Gobrecht.


In 1852 President Millard Fillmore approved an Act of Congress establishing a branch of the United States Mint in San Francisco to convert miners’ gold from the California gold rush into coins. The San Francisco Old Mint building, the second building in San Francisco to house the United States Mint there, was designed by architect A.B. Mullett who also designed the United States Department of the Treasury building and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The solid construction of the "Granite Lady" enabled it to survive the 1906 earthquake and fire, making it the only financial institution able to operate immediately after the earthquake as the Treasury for disaster relief funds for the city of San Francisco.


...honor the history and legacy of the building that became known as the "Granite Lady," in this, the 100th anniversary of the terrible tragedy which befell San Francisco in the spring of 1906.
