The Liberty Head Half Eagles are a series of gold coins minted by the United States from 1839 to 1908. These coins feature a design by artist Christian Gobrecht, showcasing a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse, with an eagle on the reverse. The denomination of five dollars is significant, and the Philadelphia mint was responsible for producing the majority of these coins during this period. The 1839 issue is particularly notable, as it marks the beginning of this popular series in U.S. numismatics.
