The Indian Half Eagle design was the last one to grace the $5 Half Eagle denomination from the United States Mint. Introduced in 1908, the Indian Half Eagle was issued annually up to the start of World War I before being suspended. It was later issued one final time in 1929. Today, 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle 5-Coin Sets with AU55 grades for each coin are available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Set Highlights:
The Indian Gold Half Eagle design was the final design used on the $5 Half Eagle coin from the United States Mint. The design was created by Bela Lyon Pratt and was the first in American coining history to feature an incuse strike. This type of design strike sinks the visuals into the surface of the coin, leaving the flat surface of the coin as the highest relief points of the coin.
All of the 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagles in this 5-Coin Set come with individual plastic slabs. The coins are all graded About Uncirculated 55 and feature medium to near-full mint luster. Coins in this condition have only trace or extremely light wear and friction on the highest relief points.
Obverse fields of the Pre-33 Indian Gold Half Eagle feature a portrait of an indigenous figure in left-profile relief. The indigenous figure is shown wearing a tall, feathered headdress and was one of the first indigenous likenesses to feature on American coinage.
Reverse designs on the 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagles include an American bald eagle. Set in left-profile relief, the eagle is shown resting with its wings at its side as it sits perched on a sheaf of arrows that is wrapped by an olive branch.
