1795 Half Eagle GMM's First Gold Piece
In the December 1995 Gallery Mint Report, on page 4, in Gallery Mint Museum strikes gold! it says;
Introducing the 1795 Gold Half Eagle reproduction
In 1795, the Half Eagle was the first regular issue, U.S. gold coin. The coins weighed 8.75 grams, and were produced from an alloy of .9167 fine gold (11/12ths pure or 22K), the remainder in copper. This is the same alloy used in all early U.S. gold coins. Later, by the Act of January 18, 1837 the alloy of gold coins was changed to .900 fine.
Designed by Robert Scot, the 1795 Half Eagle depicts a Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap and facing right. The reverse is the small eagle design.
Reproduced in the same weight and alloy as the original coin, Gallery Mint is now offering a limited edition of 200 proof strikes for $215.
