After being struck by the United States Mint for 70 years, the vaunted Liberty Head design on the Gold $5 Liberty Half Eagle was minted for the final time in 1908. The last year of issue for the Liberty Half Eagle design brought to a close a chapter in American coining history that saw this piece circulate through American hands from the dawn of the American West to the Mexican-American War, from the Civil War to Reconstruction and the Industrial Revolution, and from the Gilded Age to the dawn of the 20^th century. Today, 1908 Pre-33 Gold $5 Liberty Half Eagles are available to you online at Silver.com.

The Gold $5 Liberty Half Eagle was introduced by the United States Mint in 1838. Designed by the 3^rd Chief Engraver of the Mint, Christian Gobrecht, the design replaced the short-lived Classic Head design of Liberty that had been created just four years earlier. That design had been developed in 1834 by Gobrecht’s predecessor, 2^nd Chief Engraver William Kneass.

All of these 1908 Pre-33 Gold $5 Liberty Half Eagles are available to purchase in XF+ condition. A coin in Extremely Fine condition boasts only light wear or friction on the highest points of the coin with trace mint luster still visible. The coins will ship in protective plastic flips.

Please take a moment to note that we only guarantee the date mark, denomination, and design of the coin. The exact condition of the coin you receive will be determined by in-stock items when your payment clears. The coin or coins you receive may be in exact XF condition or slightly better, hence the XF+ designation. If you buy more than one, you may receive coins that are all in the same condition or with slight variations.

Lady Liberty graces the obverse side of 1908 Pre-33 Gold $5 Liberty Half Eagles. This design was created in 1838 and features Liberty with her hair in a bun, a coronet on her head, and strands of curls running down the side of her head and neck. A ring of 13 stars encircles her and the date mark is featured below.

The heraldic eagle is found on the reverse of 1908 Pre-33 Gold Liberty Half Eagles. This is the second version of the seal as it includes a banner with “In God We Trust” inscribed on it. This was added to various US denominations in 1866 following the Civil War.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
