The Liberty Head Half Eagle, minted from 1839 to 1908, is a notable U.S. five-dollar gold coin featuring an image of Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The 1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle, particularly from the Dahlonega Mint, is significant as Dahlonega coins are relatively rare due to limited production and the historical context of the Gold Rush in Georgia. The Dahlonega Mint issued coins primarily for local use, making them more collectible and sought after by numismatists.
