The 1912 Half Eagle is quite common up through MS63 but beyond that it becomes very scarce like most issues in this series. This date is comparable in many ways to other Philadelphia minted Indian Half Eagles around this year. Not many high quality gems exist but when they come around they demand a well-deserved premium.
Obverse Description
The obverse bears the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse Description
The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
