About this product

Please note: Year is random.

The $5 Indian Head Half Eagle in Brilliant Uncirculated Condition

Brilliant Uncirculated examples of the $5 Indian Head half eagle are becoming harder to find, which gives this pre-1933 U.S. gold coin real appeal for collectors. Struck in .900 fine gold, it contains 0.2419 troy ounces of actual gold weight. BU means the coin shows no wear from circulation and keeps the look it had when it left the mint. The year is random.

Symbols on a Sunken Design

Like the Quarter Eagle, the Indian Head Half Eagle uses an incuse design, meaning its details are pressed into the surface rather than raised. The obverse shows a Native American in a headdress, with 13 stars for the original colonies, LIBERTY, and the date. On the reverse, an eagle perches on a bundle of arrows with an olive branch, joined by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the denomination. Each element carries a piece of early American symbolism.
