The original coin's dies were used to strike these, which is the #8 Ranked coin in the 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins and is valued at $18,000,000.  

Own a stunning tribute to one of the rarest designs in American numismatic history. Originally designed by William Barber (renowned designer of the Barber Dime), the "Half Union" was a proposed $50 gold coin weighing 2.5 oz. While approved by the U.S. Senate in the mid-1800s, it failed to pass the House, leaving the original dies to be preserved at the Smithsonian Institution.

This 45mm proof round brings Barber’s legendary vision to life in brilliant, copper.
