The Incuse $5 Indian Head Half Eagle in Very Fine Grade
The $5 Indian Head half eagle VF is a pre-1933 U.S. Mint gold coin with 0.2419 troy ounce of actual gold in a .900 fine alloy, offered in Very Fine condition with a random date and mint mark. Like its quarter eagle companion, it has an incuse design, with the portrait and lettering recessed below the surface of the coin.
Egyptian Relief Meets American Coinage
The sunken relief on the half eagle was inspired by Egyptian carvings and was meant to be both artistic and practical for commerce. Bela Lyon Pratt designed both sides. The obverse shows a Native American man in a headdress, framed by the date, 13 stars and LIBERTY, while the reverse shows a bald eagle perched on arrows with an olive branch, plus FIVE DOLLARS. The U.S. Mint struck these coins from 1908 to 1929, with pauses, at Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans and San Francisco.
