In the United States, Mint engraver Christian Gobrecht was strongly influenced by Neoclassicism, which was especially apparent in his use of the classically stylized head of Liberty on the Coronet half eagle, which replaced the Classic Head design in 1839. The obverse design of the new coin featured Liberty’s hair tied in a bun and secured by a string of beads. She also wore a coronet in her hair inscribed with the word Liberty. In 1900, the Philadelphia Mint struck over 1.4 million Liberty half eagles and only 114 pieces have been stickered by the Certified Acceptance Corporation. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces. They are a third party that verifies previously graded coins and award their sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
