The Indian Half Eagle experienced a unique production history in the 20th century, with the coins only struck annually from 1908 until the start of World War I. One of the notable issues in this final design series for the Indian Half Eagle is the 1914-D Indian Half Eagle from the Denver Mint. The coin is notable for its low mintage of 247,000 coins. It is also one of the scarcer specimens in Mint State grade from the Indian Half Eagle Series, with only 504 coins graded Mint State 63. Today, 1914-D Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coins are available at JM Bullion in MS63 condition.
Coin Highlights:
The Indian Half Eagle was the final design on the $5 gold coin. Introduced in 1908, the coin was struck annually through 1916, with declining mintages as World War I dawned in the 1910s. The final two issues came in 1916, just ahead of US entry into World War I, and again over a decade later in 1929.
This 1914-D Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin is in MS63 condition. The average MS63 coin has distracting marks in the primary focal fields with hairlines noticeable either as separate, scattered incidents or as a singular small patch. This particular coin features a strong, vibrant strike with orange or greenish-gold luster common among pieces from Denver in 1914.
On the obverse of the 1914-D Pre-33 Indian Half Eagle Coin, you will find a left-profile portrait of an indigenous figure. Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, this depiction of a tribal chieftain with a feathered headdress was among the first indigenous designs on American currency.
The reverse of 1914-D $5 Indian Gold Half Eagles features the American bald eagle. This unique design includes a bald eagle perched on a sheaf of arrows. The sheaf is wrapped in an olive branch. The designs on both sides are struck incuse, meaning the visuals are stamped into the coin’s surface rather than engraved onto the surface in 3D relief.
