The Liberty Head Half Eagle, designed by Christian Gobrecht, is a cornerstone of classic American numismatics.

The reverse features a heraldic American eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, with inscriptions reading “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “FIVE D.” The Charlotte Mint “C” mintmark is especially desirable, as the mint operated for a limited time and exclusively produced gold coins, making surviving examples highly sought after.
