Elusive Gem 1910 Indian Five

1910 $5 MS65 PCGS. When we offered this coin in January 2006, we commented: "The 1910 is regarded as one of the more available issues in the Indian half eagle series, but even it becomes difficult to obtain at the Choice level and rarely appears in such a superior state of preservation." The finest certified examples include 18 in MS65 PCGS, 26 in MS65 NGC, and three in MS66 NGC--the latter probably representing just one or two actual coins. For all practical purposes, the O'Neal coin is among the finest that any collector can hope to obtain.
This elusive Gem exhibits gorgeous frosty luster with subdued orange and sky-blue accents. Not only is the strike almost fully executed, but both sides are nearly free from postminting blemishes. A pair of connecting lines in the field beneath TRUST appear to be as struck. Population: 17 in 65, 1 in 65+, 0 finer (11/10).
Ex: 2006 FUN Auction (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 3507, which realized $21,800.
