The half eagle coins were the earliest gold coins really struck for the US. The $5 piece was certified to be created by an Act of 2 April 1792, as well as the first kind weighed 135 grains, fineness percentage 0.9167. The very earliest gold coin of United States of America was struck in the year 1795.
This half eagle category is named “Capped Bust to Right” and it was struck among year 1795 to 1807. In year 1795, there were in fact 2 reverses completed for those gold coins dollar, this 1795 Small Eagle, as well as 1795 with the reverse Heraldic Eagle.
After the half eagle of Capped Bust to Right gold coins, the half eagle of Capped Bust to Left gold coin series (from 1807 to 1812) continued, followed by the half eagle of Capped Head to Left (from years 1813-1834).
There are a lot of varieties among the first dated gold coin of half eagle, because of changes in the amount of stars as well as style of eagle, differences in the shape of figures, by over dates, and by the modification in the mass of those gold coins. The half eagle of 1822 is one of the best precious regular-issue gold coins of the whole United States series.
