The Liberty Half Eagle was the longest-used design in the history of the Gold Half Eagle coin. In 1857, the US Mint was in high gear producing US Eagle gold coins as gold from the California Gold Rush and West Coast continued to stream into the US Mint. Right now, 1857 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are available to purchase online in XF45 condition from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1857 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin in this listing is available to you with a grade of XF45 from the PCGS or NGC. XF stands for Extremely Fine and refers to coins that have light wear on the highest points of relief only. In some cases, you may notice traces of mint luster. The coins in this listing come with protective plastic slabs.
Please note that Half Eagle coins have mint marks for each mint of origin, with the exception of Philadelphia Mint coins. The coins you receive in this listing may have matching mint marks or varying mint marks when you buy multiples. Additionally, you may receive coins that have either a PCGS or NGC label in the slab and that these could match or vary when you buy multiples.
Christian Gobrecht designed the images on the $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle. His designs were used on the coins from 1839 to 1907. The design was the third in the series and replaced the short-lived Classic Head design from 1834.
Obverse features of 1857 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins include the portrait of Liberty in left-profile relief. The design depicts Liberty with a coronet crown on her head and her hair up in a bun at the back of her head. There is a ring of 13 stars around the portrait with a date mark at the bottom.
Reverse imagery on the 1857 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins features an early version of the heraldic eagle of the United States. The image shows a bald eagle in front-facing relief with the US National Shield on its chest, the arrows of war in one talon, and an olive branch in its other talon.
