The variations among the two design types used for the Gold Liberty Half Eagle were rather subtle in nature. Both of the variations related to the reverse design element were limited to the inscriptions on the coins. The original Type 1 coin was used from 1839 to 1866 and lacked the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the coins. The Type 2 coin added this motto inscription on a banner above the eagle’s head. The Type 2 design was used from 1866 until 1907 when the Liberty Head design was replaced by the incuse-struck Indian Head design for the Gold Half Eagle.
All of these 1907 Pre-33 $5 Gold Liberty Half Eagles are available to you in Extremely Fine-plus condition. Coins in this condition typically have some traces of the mint luster remaining, with light wear patterns and friction across the high relief points of the coin.
