The $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle stands as a lasting example of US gold coinage, produced for nearly a century. It reflects major historical events such as the Civil War and the Gilded Age. These coins are struck in .900 fine gold and contain nearly one-quarter ounce of gold. This 1908 Liberty Half Eagle marks the final year of issue with a limited run before the mint retired the design later in the year. Now, 1908 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins in certified condition are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
These 1908 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are in Mint State 64 condition. Coins with this grade showcase a quite attractive eye appeal with average luster remaining. The coins feature several small contact marks in groups, with one or two moderate marks possible. One or two small patches of hairlines may also be present.
The obverse of the 1908 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin features a bust of Lady Liberty facing left. She wears a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars and the date below. The design was created by Christian Gobrecht and refined by James B. Longacre in 1839.
The reverse of the 1908 Pre-33 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Coins depicts a heraldic eagle with a shield, arrows, and an olive branch. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears above, with FIVE D below. IN GOD WE TRUST was added in 1866.
The 1908 Liberty Half Eagle occupies one of the most fascinating transitional positions in all of American numismatics, struck at Philadelphia early in the year with a mintage of just 421,874 coins before production shifted to the new Indian Head design created by Bela Lyon Pratt, making it the absolute final issue of the Liberty Head Half Eagle series. Its status as the last-ever Liberty Head Half Eagle gives it an importance within the series that its mintage alone does not convey, as collectors building complete date sets and those drawn to the historical significance of final issues both seek it with considerable enthusiasm.
