$5 Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle Coin XF

In the 1930s, the federal government put forth collection efforts of what, today, have become collectible historic gold coins. There are an extremely limited number of these coins. Whenever they are available, history buffs, collectors, and investors clamor for them. This $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle coin is in Extra Fine (XF) condition. Designer Christian Gobrecht depicts Lady Liberty on the first side of this coin. Her left portrait is a headshot only donning her "Liberty" engraved crown. Surrounding her are 13 stars and the year of minting. An ever-popular symbol on American coins, the Heraldic Eagle appears on the reverse side of this coin. One talon clutches an olive branch while in the other, a set of arrows. The coin’s face value and "United States of America" are engraved on this side as well.
