One of the most well-known coin designs in American history is the Liberty Head Eagle, created by Christian Gobrecht. First introduced in 1838, the image of Liberty appeared that year on the Eagle, Half Eagle, and Quarter Eagle. This classic design stayed on these denominations for decades, through 1908 on some versions. Among the most collectible of these coins are the Half Eagles struck at the Carson City Mint. Right now, you can find certified 1893-CC $5 Liberty Half Eagle Gold Coins for sale online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1893-CC $5 Liberty Half Eagle Gold Coin in this listing holds a Mint State 61 grade. Coins in this condition generally show impaired luster and multiple marks or abrasions, including a mix of smaller and larger contact marks. Some hairlines may also be seen under light.
Obverse
The obverse side of 1893-CC Liberty Half Eagle Gold Coins displays the image of Lady Liberty. This portrait shows her in profile facing left, wearing a coronet with the word “Liberty” inscribed on it. Around the outer rim are 13 stars, one for each original colony. The date of issue is engraved beneath the image. Inscriptions include only LIBERTY on the coronet and 1893.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1893-CC $5 Half Eagle Gold Coin includes a heraldic eagle design. This bald eagle is shown in frontal relief, holding arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other. The national shield is displayed on its chest, and above the eagle is a banner containing the motto of the United States. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FIVE D., and IN GOD WE TRUST.
History
These 1893-CC Liberty Half Eagles represent the final release from the Carson City Mint, which was shut down later that same year. Alongside Carson City, coins were also struck in 1893 at the Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mints. Philadelphia produced over 1.5 million coins, while New Orleans struck 110,000 and San Francisco produced 224,000.
