The Liberty Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The design features a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. The 1862 San Francisco issue is particularly notable due to its limited mintage, as it was produced during the Civil War, when gold coinage was less common. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance, design appeal, and gold content, which contributes to their value.
