More About This Collection

Draped Bust $5 Gold Half Eagles

The Draped Bust $5 Gold Half Eagle, issued from 1795 through 1807, represents some of the earliest gold coinage produced by the United States Mint. Featuring a right-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a cap, these historic Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins are valued for their early federal origins, scarce dates, distinctive varieties, and limited surviving populations.

First struck in 1795 at the Philadelphia Mint, the Half Eagle was among the first gold denominations produced by the United States. Today, these early gold coins remain an important area of American numismatic collecting.

Small Eagle and Heraldic Eagle Designs

The Draped Bust Half Eagle series includes two principal reverse designs:

  • Small Eagle (1795–1798): Features a naturalistic eagle holding a wreath in its beak, with its wings outstretched. Early dates and scarce varieties are particularly important to collectors.

  • Heraldic Eagle (1795–1807): Features an eagle with a shield on its breast, inspired by the Great Seal of the United States. Introduced in 1797, this design also appears on coins bearing earlier dates.

Collectors pursue Draped Bust Half Eagles by date, reverse design, die variety, certified grade, and originality. Certain issues, including the 1798 Small Eagle and early Heraldic Eagle varieties, are exceptionally rare.
