Teddy Roosevelt champions Bela-Lyon Pratt's
Incuse Relief Indian Head Design

banner-shadow

Just like the $10 Indian Head and the $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle, the creation of the $5 Indian Head Half Eagle was championed by President Theodore Roosevelt. The $5 Indian Head Half Eagle carries the same Bela-Lyon Pratt design as the $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle. Both coins are the only two coins in U.S. history to sport incuse relief designs making them truly unique in the annals of American coinage.

Pratt's innovative designs created considerable controversy in their design stage, mainly because of the use of incuse relief. However, President Roosevelt was undaunted by the controversy and stayed the course to champion their production and circulation.

Many dates of the $5 Indian Head Half Eagle are quite elusive in MS-63 condition and downright rare in grades beyond. As a result they command impressive prices and are considered a key "stopper" coin to the completion of a 20th Century 8-Piece U.S. Gold Type Set.

The Mike Fuljenz Metals Market Report

May 2012, Week 3 Edition

Gold and other commodities are down, partly because the U.S. dollar is UP to the euro. In the last two weeks, the euro has fallen from $1.324 to $1.288, mostly in reaction to the recent elections in France and Greece, which have put an end to the "age of austerity" in Europe and the beginning of a new era of monetary expansion in the euro-zone. By contrast, the U.S. had a positive April - the first monthly budget surplus since 2008. The U.S. economy is growing slowly, but fast enough to give the dollar a quick boost.
