Description
1911 Indian Half Eagle, PR65
Strong Eye Appeal for the grade
1911 $5 JD-1, R.4, PR65 NGC. Today, matte proof gold coins
from the early 1900s are among the numismatic elite, delicacies
that maintain a high level of desirability and demand. At the time
they were issued, this was not the case. Only those collectors who
desired to maintain their run of proof gold coinage sought out the
matte finish proofs, which the Mint introduced in part because
other proof finishes did not translate well to the incuse Indian
Head design. To its credit, the Mint reverted to satin finish
proofs in 1910 and ended up melting many unsold pieces. The
sandblast finish returned for 1911 proofs, albeit with a texture
similar to 1908 proofs. Color ranges for the 1911 proofs range from
mustard-yellow to dark-brown. This is a mustard-orange Gem proof,
with fleeting reddish accents and medium-fine matte texture. The
coin shows only the most minor surface flaws while maintaining
excellent eye appeal throughout both the obverse and the reverse.
Indian Head specialists who seek out the best of matte proofs will
find this coin's appearance irresistible. Census: 15 in 65, 30
finer (11/24).From The rhp Collection.
