$5 Gold Indian Head Half Eagle (1908-1929) Uncirculated - Random Date
Pre-1933 U.S. Gold with Iconic Incuse Design
The $5 Indian Head Gold Half Eagle, minted from 1908 to 1929, is one of the most unique and collectible coins in American numismatics. Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, this coin features an incuse (sunken relief) design where the devices are recessed into the coin rather than raised—making it a revolutionary departure from traditional U.S. coinage.
This listing offers a random-date example in Uncirculated condition, giving collectors a high-quality specimen of one of America’s most innovative pre-1933 gold coins.

The Indian Head Half Eagle – A Bold U.S. Innovation
The Indian Head Half Eagle is part of one of the most innovative series in U.S. history. Its incuse design was groundbreaking, creating a tactile and visually distinctive coin. Struck through a period that included World War I and the Roaring Twenties, this series reflects an era of American strength and innovation.
Due to its limited mintage and the cessation of circulating gold in 1933, Uncirculated examples are highly desirable to both collectors and gold enthusiasts.
