The final design featured in the US Gold Half Eagle Series was introduced in mid-1908 and was designed by Bela Lyon Pratt. The 1908 Indian Gold Half Eagle is one of the harder-to-find denominations from the series because of its low mintage in the first year and the mass melting of US gold coins in the 1930s. Right now, 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle 5-Coin Sets are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Set Highlights:
Each 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin in this five-coin set includes five individual coins with .242 Troy oz of actual gold content. In total, this set comes with five coins dated 1908 and bearing the then-new Indian Head design for the Gold Half Eagle. With your purchase of this set, you will receive nearly 1.25 Troy oz of actual gold content. US Gold Half Eagles were struck by the United States Mint using 90% gold content and 10% copper.
The Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagles in this five-coin set are all in Very Fine or better condition. Coins in VF+ condition show medium-to-light wear and tear on the design elements, but all of the general details of the strike are still visible on the coins.
In the obverse design of 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagles, the first-ever incuse design on American coins is visible. Bela Lyon Pratt created the image of an indigenous figure in left-profile relief with a full, feathered headdress on. The coin design includes the addition of the word “Liberty” after it was not featured on the Liberty Head coins struck from 1839 to 1908. There are 13 stars on this side of the coin, though unlike the Liberty Head design the stars are split six on the left edge and seven on the right.
For the reverse field of 1908 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coins in the 5-coin set, a new image of the American bald eagle features on each coin. The bald eagle is shown perched on a sheaf of arrows with its wings at its side in left-profile relief. The sheaf of arrows is wrapped in an olive branch, combining symbols of aggression and peace in the image.
