The Liberty Head Half Eagles ($5 gold coins), minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908, feature a design by engraver James B. Longacre. The 1853 Charlotte Mint issue is particularly notable, as it was struck at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina, one of the few U.S. mint facilities in the South during that era. These coins are composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, making them durable and sought after by collectors for their historical significance and artistic design. The 1853 Charlotte Half Eagle is especially rare, with limited mintage, adding to its collector value.
