Up for Auction...a 1915 Five Dollar Indian Head Half Eagle Gold United States Dollar Coin WITH FREE SHIPPING! This is an authentic coin that was my late grandfather's. It is not in perfect/mint coniditon by any means, as it has signs of tarnish and age on front and rear (please see photos.) It has a gross weight of 8.359 grams and its' diameter was determined to be 21.6 mm. It was designed by Bela Lyon Pratt. President Theodore Roosevelt had determined it was time for the nations coinage to change and become more beautiful. The well known sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt designed the obverse and reverse for the Half Eagle as well as the smaller Quarter Eagle. And the design was controversial from the start. It didn't look like the typical American gold coin with its incuse, or sunken, design. Complaints were made that the portrait of the Native American model appeared emaciated. Banks complained the gold coins were difficult to stack and would be too easy to counterfeit. It was even claimed by some that the coins design would harbor dirt, germs and disease making them a hygiene problem, all of which proved untrue.
Roosevelt let the coins production move forward as planned despite the complaints and the complainers. The $5 Indian Head Half Eagles production lasted only a few, short years from 1908 through 1916.
Today, the $5 Indian Head Half Eagle is one of the most popular collectible American gold coins. It is relatively inexpensive when compared with its big brother, the $20 St. Gaudens Double Eagle.
Would make an excellent addition to an already existing collection or an excellent start to a new collection.
