The Liberty Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The 1848 issue, particularly from the Dahlonega Mint in Georgia, is significant due to its historical context and the California Gold Rush, which increased gold production in the U.S. The Dahlonega mint mark (D) on these coins adds to their collectibility, as they were struck in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by numismatists. These coins feature the iconic Liberty Head design on the obverse and a rendered eagle on the reverse, representing both the era's artistry and American values.
