The 1911 Half Eagle is a fantastic type coin for this design for its affordability up to gem condition. Like mainly every other coin in the series when in gem condition it gets far more rare and valuable. Relative to the series though this issue is common all around. The 1908 is still seen far more often especially in the finest of grades but the 1911 is not too far off.

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.
