In the year 1797, Robert Scot designed a heraldic reverse shape of the half eagle as well as the eagle, a theme which would eventually be repeated on every U.S. coins excluding the half cent and the cent. (Coins of that type dated year 1795 are supposed to have been striking in the year 1798.) Scot's Heraldic Eagle opposite features borrowed greatly from the Seal of the US that was affixed to every official administrative document.
The success of the half eagle gold coin depended largely on the amount of gold bullion stored in the Mint. Since only small quantity of gold was expected by the Mint in its initial years, amount struck for that type is usually low.
Coins were striking in each year excluding in 1801, while all of the bullion deposits were employed for striking 10 dollar coins. The Heraldic Eagle of 1795 half eagle was in fact struck later by means of an odd grouping of an available 1795 obverse as well as a reverse of new category. Most probable, this unusual "mule" was struck during 1798, in the same period as the Small Eagle of 1798-reverse half eagle.
That kind is replete with attractive varieties, including a few over date {1797/5, 1802/1 as well as 1803/2). In year 1797, obverses may be found having either 15 or 16 Stars. In the year 1798, obverses found with either a big or a small eight in the date in the reverse; either thirteen or fourteen stars float on top of the eagle's head.
Buyers must also be cautious of cleaned as well as the repaired examples. Every examples of this kind were struck in the Philadelphia Mint. No verifications were made, however one 1795 eagle having a Heraldic Eagle overturn has been proved as a Specimen.
Designer is Robert Scot. The reverse skin a heraldic eagle, designed following the Seal of the US. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” rounds the eagle. Edge: reed. Standards: mass, 8.75 grams; composition, gold 91.67% or 8.33% silver as well as copper; 25 mm in diameter.
