The Liberty Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin produced by the United States Mint, featuring the iconic Liberty design by engraver James B. Longacre. Minted from 1839 to 1908, the 1844 issue specifically comes from the Dahlonega Mint in Georgia, known for producing coins with distinct characteristics due to its smaller scale operations and regional minting practices. These coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, design, and gold content. The 1844 Liberty Head Half Eagle from Dahlonega is particularly notable for its low mintage and relative rarity, making it a valued piece in numismatic circles.
