Liberty Head Half Eagles 1839-1908

About This Series

The longest-running U.S. gold coin design at 70 years, produced across seven mints. Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Head design became the standard for American gold coinage throughout the 19th century. Charlotte, Dahlonega, and Carson City issues are especially prized by collectors. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was added in 1866, creating distinct With Motto and Without Motto subtypes.
