Details

OverviewAuthorized April 2, 1792, the $5 Half Eagle, was the first gold coin authorized by the U.S. Congress. It is also the only coin in U.S. history to have been struck by all operating mints during its circulation.The $5 gold coin has gone through several design changes. The first was the “Capped Bust to Right, Small Eagle.” The longest-term design was the Liberty, or Coronet, design by Christian Golbrecht, minted from 1839 until 1908, when it was replaced by the $5 Indian gold coin.

DesignThe obverse (front) of the $5 Liberty gold coin is similar to the $2.50 and $20 Liberty gold coins, showing Lady Liberty with a tight bun of hair, decorated with beads. A coronet, inscribed “LIBERTY,” rests on her head. The issue date and 13 stars, representing the original 13 colonies, circle her head.The reverse shows bald eagle spread wings, standing among olive branches. The eagle clutches three arrows in his talons and has a shield with stars and stripes over his chest. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the denomination, and the mint mark surround the eagle. Coins minted from 1839-1866 do not have “IN GOD WE TRUST.”In 1866, the motto was added on a ribbon over the eagle.

MintingThe Philadelphia Mint produced the $5 Liberty gold coins throughout its circulation years. The $5 Liberty was also minted in San Francisco, Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans. After the motto was added, these coins were minted in Carson City, then at the Denver Mint from 1906-1907.

Augusta does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. The Augusta® Gold IRA is a self-directed IRA containing physical precious metals administered by a third-party custodian and stored in an approved non-government depository storage facility where investors can make an appointment to see their precious metals. The Augusta® Home Delivery™ Gold IRA is a self-directed physical precious metals IRA stored at home or in a safe deposit box. Augusta's attorneys believe that American Eagle coins may be stored at home and that all other IRA-held coins must be stored, at a minimum, in a safe deposit box at a U.S. bank. However, these attorneys believe it is wiser to store all IRA precious metals in a safe deposit box at a U.S. bank to eliminate risks associated with home storage. The IRS has not provided clear guidance on home delivery or home or safe deposit box storage of IRA precious metals. If your home delivery gold IRA is not set up properly, if you engage in a prohibited transaction (e.g., withdrawing metals before retirement to use for any other purpose), or if it is determined that home delivery or home or bank safe deposit box storage are not permitted by the IRS, you could lose your tax-exempt status and have to pay taxes and penalties. As with any investment, past performance might not predict future returns. The price of precious metals fluctuates over time and investors might lose money. It is important to consult your own legal and financial advisors before buying from Augusta.
