The Liberty Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin produced by the United States Mint, specifically featuring a design by James B. Longacre. Minted from 1839 to 1908, these coins are notable for their depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The Dahlonega Mint, active from 1838 to 1861 in Georgia, produced a limited number of these coins, including the 1853 date, making them particularly sought after by collectors. The 1853 Liberty Head Half Eagles from Dahlonega are prized for their historical significance and lower mintage compared to other varieties.
