An Icon of American Coinage History

The $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle stands as a testament to early 20th-century American artistry and innovation. Minted between 1908 and 1929, this coin was designed by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt and is renowned for its unique incuse design, where the images are sunken below the coin's surface—a departure from traditional raised reliefs.

Each coin in this listing is in Extra Fine (XF) condition, indicating light wear on the highest points but retaining sharp details and a pleasing overall appearance. The obverse features a Native American chief adorned with a full feathered headdress, encircled by 13 stars representing the original colonies. The reverse showcases a majestic bald eagle perched on a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace.
