The Liberty Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1908. The 1845 issue, minted in New Orleans, is part of a series characterized by its iconic design featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. These coins are sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, varying mintages, and the allure of gold content. The New Orleans mint mark adds an additional layer of collectibility, as coins from this mint are generally scarcer than those from Philadelphia or San Francisco.
