Description

1909-O Indian Half Eagle, MS61
Series Key Date

1909-O $5 MS61 PCGS. Winter-1. The 1909-O half eagle is the last gold coin that was struck at the New Orleans Mint. This is the key date of the series along with having the lowest mintage of just 34,200 coins. The 1909-O is very scarce in Uncirculated grades, and collector demand is intense. This attractive wheat gold specimen has good strike quality for the date, with some usual weakness in feather detail on the reverse including the eagle's right leg. The obverse has slight weakness in the lower feathers, but this is also typical of the 1909-O. Lightly abraded surfaces are consistent with the grade, including some marks in front of the portrait and light contact marks on the reverse. Frosty luster is found on the portrait and within the eagle feathers which adds to the appeal of this lovely coin. PCGS Population: 41 in 61, 61 finer (8/25).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25ZK, PCGS# 8515, Greysheet# 9320)
