Very few 1929 Half Eagles are known to exist with most Mint State examples coming in under MS63. Gems or any high quality pieces are very hard to come across for this late gold issue. Watch out for bag marks for the 1929 but otherwise this coin comes very well struck and has delightful eye appeal all around.
Obverse Description
The obverse bears the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse Description
The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
