A Time Capsule of Early America
Struck as President Thomas Jefferson negotiated the Louisiana Purchase with Napoleon, this coin was minted in a young nation on the brink of transformation. The historic overdate variety—1803 struck over a 1802 die—adds another layer of intrigue to this already rare piece.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Acquisition
With the USA’s 250th Anniversary approaching, early Americana is becoming increasingly scarce, and high-grade early gold like this is nearly impossible to find. If you could travel back in time, even then, securing a Half Eagle of this quality would be an extraordinary challenge. History is in your hands—act now.
