The Indian Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin that was produced by the United States Mint from 1908 to 1929. The 1912 issue of the Indian Head Half Eagle was minted in San Francisco, known for its distinctive S mintmark. This coin features a Native American chief on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse, both of which are hallmark designs of the series, created by renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Collectors highly value these coins for their gold content and historical significance, especially the San Francisco Mint variants due to their lower mintage and higher quality.
