Historical Significance
The Indian Head Half Eagle, designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, broke from traditional coin designs with its incuse imagery. This particular coin was minted in 1909 at the New Orleans Mint. The New Orleans Mint ceased operations shortly thereafter, making all "O" mint marked coins desirable. This particular coin's age and historical context add to its importance in numismatic circles. Its design and the circumstances of its mintage make it a compelling artifact of early 20th-century America.
