Liberty Head Half Eagles refer to the five-dollar gold coins minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The design features a representation of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1856-dated version was struck at the Charlotte Mint, one of the regional mints established during the California Gold Rush to facilitate the mining industry's needs. These coins are highly sought after by collectors, particularly those in good to excellent condition, due to their historical significance and limited mintage.
