Get to know the designer whose collectible Gold Eagle coins were overshadowed by Saint-Gaudens’.

When you think of collectible Gold Eagle coins, the first name that comes to mind is usually Saint-Gaudens, and not surprisingly so. His Double Eagle and Eagle are considered to be not only the most beloved and beautiful U.S. coins, but these Gold coins also rank high among world coins. The designer of the Gold Half Eagle, sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, however, was also influential in the Renaissance of American coinage. His iconic U.S. Mint Gold coins, the Half Eagle and Quarter Eagle, featured the stunning Indian Head design, but were smaller and more understated. Plus, most Silver and Gold coin designers were working in the shadow of Saint-Gaudens, who had an established reputation and following. Pratt’s Gold coins are considered by some to be more daring and groundbreaking, as his Gold coins were the first to feature a realistic representation of a Native American.

The Gold Half Eagle hiatus: What happened to Gold coins during WWI?

The Gold Half Eagle was minted from 1908 through 1916 and then was halted until its last year in 1929. In the West, Gold coins were circulated, but in the East, banknotes were more common. U.S. Mint Gold coins took a backseat to banknotes in 1913 when the Federal Reserve System was established. Another factor contributing to the disappearance of collectible Gold Eagle coins was economic instability that resulted from WW I, which caused the price of Gold to rise to levels higher than the face value of Gold coins.

The Indian Half Eagle Gold coin, minted 1908-1916 and 1929, was produced in incuse, or inset, seen for the first time on this Indian Head design.

Iconic Pre-33

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

Awesome design! but more common 1911 mintage. slightly disappointed in the coins condition, it appears less than XF grade and seems more Average Circulated. I'm not overly concerned. I have been buying my bullion from Apmex since 2012 and this would only be the second time I would have considered myself underwhelmed by a purchase. Thanks Again
