The 1914-D Indian Half Eagle, with its modest mintage of 247,000 pieces, appeared during a year of dramatic economic transition as World War I erupted in Europe in August 1914. The beautiful incused Indian Head design by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt had been in production since 1908, and the Denver Mint’s 1914 issue represents a relatively scarce date in this series. Right now, the 1914-D Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1914-D Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin is in Mint State 65 condition. This particular piece is notable for its warm, even golden color and satin luster. The surface areas have a soft, satin visual with crisp definition on the headdress of the indigenous figure and a composed visual appearance.
The war’s outbreak initially shocked American financial markets, causing the New York Stock Exchange to close for several months, but ultimately proved economically beneficial as European nations purchased massive quantities of American goods, food, and raw materials. The year 1914 also saw the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, which fundamentally transformed American monetary policy and banking, though gold coins like the Half Eagle would continue circulating for another two decades before being withdrawn during the Great Depression.
In the obverse of 1914-D Pre-33 Indian Half Eagle Coin, you will find a left-profile effigy of an indigenous figure. This composite portrait shows a figure wearing a feathered headdress with 13 stars included on this side.
For the reverse of 1914-D $5 Indian Gold Half Eagles, the mint features the image of an American bald eagle. In this design, the eagle is set in left-profile relief as it sits perched on a sheaf of arrows with an olive branch wrapped around the arrows.
