As part of the renowned Fairmont Collection, these coins offer a unique glimpse into the historical and cultural richness of that period.

Highlights:
Certified in Mint State 63 condition, these coins exhibit slight impaired mint luster, small contact marks, and scattered heavier marks. Part of the esteemed Fairmont Collection, they have journeyed through international commerce, residing in foreign banks before returning to the United States in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1911 $5 Indian Half Eagle displays a left-profile portrait of an indigenous figure, adorned in an elaborate feathered headdress. This portrayal holds immense cultural significance, and it’s a poignant tribute to the diverse heritage of the United States.
Reverse
On the reverse, you’ll find the iconic American bald eagle, perched atop a sheaf of arrows enclosed by an olive branch. This powerful symbol embodies the nation’s strength and commitment to peace.
History
In 1908, the United States Mint introduced a groundbreaking design for the $5 Gold Half Eagle coin, featuring the nation’s first-ever incuse-struck coin. This innovative strike showcased designs sunk into the surface of the coin, creating a flat surface without raised reliefs. During 1911, the Philadelphia Mint, Denver Mint, and San Francisco Mint all issued the Indian Gold Half Eagle. Among them, the Philadelphia Mint minted 915,000 coins, making it a cherished piece of American numismatic history.
