The Liberty Head Half Eagle, a five-dollar gold coin, was minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The 1872 Carson City mintmark version is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited production and historical significance. Each coin features the iconic Liberty Head design on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse, symbolizing American strength and freedom. The Carson City mint, operational from 1870 to 1893, produced fewer coins compared to other mints, enhancing the rarity and value of the 1872 edition in numismatic circles.
