Impressive Premium Gem 1908 Indian Five

1908 $5 MS66 PCGS. As a first-year issue, the 1908 Indian half eagles saw a slight increase in the number of intentionally saved survivors from the previous design, but ambivalence to Pratt's sunken-relief portrait and the substantial face value of the pieces limited the extent of the first-year effect. In addition, the exposed fields of the design, while they did shield the devices from wear, also quickly developed numerous abrasions.
The MS66 representative offered here is one of the most appealing examples to come to market in recent memory. The strike is solid, and the strongly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces show occasional apricot accents. The fields are surprisingly well-preserved, and even under magnification, any flaws are isolated. PCGS has graded only one finer example (12/07).(Registry values: N7079)
