The $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle was first released in 1839. Its mintage period is the longest of all the Gold Half Eagle Coins, spanning 61 years in total. Because the Liberty Half Eagle was produced prior to 1933, it boasts an impressive composition of .2418 oz of 90.0% pure gold; such exceptional fineness makes it suitable for individuals wishing to make moderate-sized gold investments.
In addition to its compositional value, the Liberty Half Eagle holds the distinction of being the only coin ever produced in all seven of the original US Mints, consequently earning it great popularity among individuals wishing to collect the various privy marks.
Coin Highlights:
The Liberty Gold Half Eagle was the coin series’ third artistic revision, following the Classic Head Half Eagle. Its obverse has been embossed with the design of Christian Gobrecth, the US Mint’s Chief Engraver at the time. Gobrecht’s artwork offers a Greco-Roman interpretation of the previous Lady Liberty image. It depicts Lady Liberty in profile while wearing an inscribed coronet in her elaborate hairstyle. Also incorporated into Gobrecht’s design are the coin’s mintage year and a circular border of thirteen stars.
Proudly stamped across the reverse side of the coin is the image of the Heraldic Eagle, complete with its shield, olive branch and set of arrows. While similar to earlier coin artwork, the Liberty Half Eagle presents a more accurate portrayal of the national bird. Specific details such the intricate engraving of its feather and talons elevate the image from a generic symbol to a real-life embodiment of this country’s ideals. Other elements that were added to new Heraldic Eagle design include the scroll above the eagle’s head and the word “Five” in place of its numerical counterpart in the coin’s denomination.

"Beautiful coin. I got 1900 as the date, a marvel to look and think there was a year when the 20th century was new. (and of course that gold was still in use as a currency)"
