One Denomination, Every Mint

What is the only United States coin denomination that has been struck at every United States Mint? If your answer is the $5 Gold Coin – you’re right! The $5 Gold Coin is also known as the Half-Eagle and has been minted at every mint we’ve had since the beginning. In fact, the half eagle is the first gold coin ever struck by the United States government! Five Dollar gold coins were struck for circulation every year from 1795 through 1929. The last circulating $5 series was struck from 1908 through 1929, and boy was it dramatic. When President Theodore Roosevelt called for a new $5 gold coin design in 1908, few imagined the daring, innovative masterpiece that designer Bela Lyon Pratt would produce. Unlike every other U.S. coin design, Pratt’s Indian Head is incused, meaning that the sculpted Indian is cut into the surface of the coin instead of being raised above it. Plus, it was one of the shorter lived coin designs with barely 20 years of production. These are some of the reasons why these coins are one that our Mint Master believes every collector should own, and is willing to back that up with a very special VIP price. For just $749 you can add one of these historic coins to your collection in very collectible Extremely Fine condition. That’s over $100 lower than other national retailers for the same quality! Each coin will be encapsulated for protection and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Call now to confirm your order!
