Liberty Head half eagles are gold coins that were minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The 1856 Liberty Head half eagle, valued at five dollars, was produced at the San Francisco Mint. These coins feature a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. Due to their gold content and historical significance, they are popular among collectors. The 1856 issue is particularly noted for its lower mintage and can command higher prices in good condition.
