The 1913 $5 Indian Head Half Eagle was struck during a period of relative economic prosperity in America, just before the tumultuous events that would reshape the global financial landscape with World War I and the eventual establishment of the Federal Reserve System that same year. Right now, 1913 Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coins in Mint State condition are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1913 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin listed here is in Mint State 62 condition. Coins with this grade level exhibit an acceptable eye appeal for the age, with a few distracting marks in the primary focal areas and a few scattered hairlines, or a singular noticeable patch. Overall, many coins from this era and series feature a beautiful golden, honey-apricot hue. While more than 900,000 were issued by Philadelphia in 1913, estimates suggest around 44,000 survive today, with the available numbers smaller among Mint State specimens.
This particular year is notable for occurring at the height of the Progressive Era, when America’s economy was expanding rapidly through industrialization and infrastructure development, making gold coins like the Half Eagle essential instruments of everyday large transactions and banking reserves. While more than 1.3 million coins were issued by Philadelphia and San Francisco, the mass melting of US gold coins in 1933 resulted in lower survivability for quality specimens.
On the obverse of the 1913 Indian Half Eagle Coin, you will find a left-profile bust of an indigenous figure. Among the first depictions of an indigenous figure on American currency, this design from Bela Lyon Pratt was groundbreaking in its use of an incuse strike, sinking the design element into the surface of the coin.
The reverse of 1913 $5 Gold Half Eagles comes with an image of the American bald eagle. The design shows an eagle perched on a sheaf of arrows. The eagle is shown in left-profile relief with its wings resting at its sides. The sheaf of arrows is wrapped in an olive branch, symbolizing both war and peace. This design, like the obverse, was struck incuse on the coin.
