1911 Indian Head $5 Gold

United States gold coins are treasured keepsakes from an earlier time in America, when precious metal coinage still played a major role in the nation's economy. The 1911 Indian Head $5 gold piece, or half eagle, was struck at the main U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. Designed by a prominent sculptor, the coin is artistically acclaimed and features an incuse design with devices and lettering recessed below the flat surface of the coin.
