	Independence Coin Services, Gold and Silver Collectors Coins for Coin Collectors
		Half eagles would go on to see almost continuous production from 1795 to 1929, and throughout their life, they would not only be used in trade but-in preference to almost any other gold coin-would be popularly found in Christmas stockings, especially in eastern towns and cities.
		The contemporary half eagle coin minted since 1839 and in use at the end of the war had been designed by Mint Engraver Christian Gobrecht.
		When specie payments resumed in 1878, the half eagles were a convenient coin to redeem the large number of greenbacks still in circulation.

	Information about the SESQUICENTENNIAL OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE QUARTER EAGLE coin
		Special commemorative coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and sold as souvenirs at the Exposition: one coin was a silver half dollar, the other a $2.50 gold piece (or quarter eagle).
		The remaining balance, including assay pieces totaling 528 for the half dollar and 226 for the quarter eagle, were returned to the mint at the close of the exposition and were subsequently melted.
		The quarter eagle was distributed without holders at the Exposition, but additional coins were marketed through the Franklin Trust Company of Philadelphia in small envelopes bearing its name and address in blue ink.

	Brief Overview of the U.S. History of Coinage
		The first coins (silver half dimes) were produced in the months that followed, but not from the Mint building, still under construction - apparently being made at the coin press storage place.
		A pattern in silver was made with the regular obverse die of the 1808 half eagle, and the reverse die of the previous type.
		But the House and George Washington himself nixed the idea as 'monarchical.' Thus, "an impression emblematic of Liberty" and an eagle on the reverse of the gold and silver coins, and "United States of America" on the copper ones proved to be the winning compromise of House and Senate.

	Franklin Half Dollar
		This had been required by law on the half dollar since 1792 and was reaffirmed by the Coinage Act of 1873, which mandated the placement of an eagle on every U.S. silver coin larger than the dime.
		The Walking Liberty half dollar, last struck in 1947, was the final precious-metal coin remaining in production from the early 20th-century period that spawned the "Mercury" dime, Standing Liberty quarter and Saint-Gaudens double eagle.
		In a speech at the unveiling of the Franklin half dollar, Ross recalled that people had urged her to place Franklin's portrait on the cent because he was identified so closely with the maxim "A penny saved is twopence clear" (often misquoted as "A penny saved is a penny earned").

	Double Eagle (U.S. coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the "eagle"-based nomenclature for gold U.S. coinage is often assumed to be merely slang, the "eagle," "half-eagle" and "quarter-eagle" were specifically given these names in the Act of Congress that originally authorized them ("An Act establishing a Mint, and regulating Coins of the United States", section 9, April 2, 1792).
		A Double Eagle is a gold coin of the United States with a denomination of $20.
		Even illegal copies of the 1933 double eagle would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it would be illegal for a U.S. coin dealer to broker a deal with one of these coins.

	The Flying Eagle Cent - About U.S. Coins from Coin World
		The Flying Eagle reverse was used on some pattern half dollars dated 1838, but on nothing further until it was used on the obverse of pattern design trial strike large cents of 1854 and 1855.
		The Flying Eagle cent, one of the shortest- running coin designs in all the U.S. coin series, was brought about by inflation and before its demise, may have started coin collecting as we now know it.
		Flying Eagle cent patterns dated 1856 with a diameter of 19mm were struck throughout the remainder of the year, the actual mintage being disputed.

		The half eagle, or $5 coin, was the first gold coin actually struck for the United States.
		The $5 gold piece was authorized by the Act of April 2, 1792, and the weights and fineness for gold coins were revised with statutes during the 1830s.
