History

In 1908, the United States Mint introduced a groundbreaking design for the $5 Gold Half Eagle coin, featuring the nation’s first-ever incuse-struck coin. This innovative strike showcased designs sunk into the surface of the coin, creating a flat surface without raised reliefs. During 1911, the Philadelphia Mint, Denver Mint, and San Francisco Mint all issued the Indian Gold Half Eagle. Among them, the Philadelphia Mint minted 915,000 coins, making it a cherished piece of American numismatic history.
