coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ $5 (Five Dollars) \ Liberty Half Eagles \ 1848 \ Charlotte
The Liberty Head Half Eagle, with a denomination of five dollars, was minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The 1848 issue is particularly notable as it was produced at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina. This mint was established in response to the gold rush in the region, and coins from this facility are sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage. The design features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse, with a simplified eagle on the reverse, embodying the classic motifs of 19th-century American coinage.
