$5 Gold Indian Head Half Eagles have a unique combination of rarity, beauty, and value.
Provident Metals is proud to offer an array of fine, $5 Gold Indian Head Half Eagles issued from 1907 to 1929. These outstanding specimens from the United States Mint are valuable to collectors because of their age and historical significance and to investors for their gold bullion content. Famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who is considered by many to be one of the greatest sculptors of the 18th Century, designed these beautiful coins. The Indian Head and Walking Liberty Double Eagle designs he completed just before his death are considered masterpieces by many numismatists.
Since these early coins are considered collector’s items or heirloom pieces, purchasing them protects your bullion wealth from seizure by the United States Treasury in the event of a national emergency as defined in Section II of Executive Order 6102 issued by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in April of 1933 during the Great Depression. $5 Indian Head Gold Half Eaglespossess intrinsic value in gold that is far greater than their stated denomination of five dollars, but they can be used as legal tender for the purchase of goods and supplies.
