Auction 407 | Lot 1319 » Half Eagles » Indian Half Eagles
1909 $5 MS66 PCGS. The opportunity to bid on any Indian half eagle at this grade level rarely presents itself, with a PCGS population of 47 coins, and just 13 finer examples (5/06). Did we mention that this population is for the entire Indian half eagle series, including all dates from 1908 to 1929? This is an amazing Gem that is tied for the finest certified by PCGS. Both sides have frosty luster with gorgeous honey-gold color and pristine surfaces with only a few tiny marks. The strike is exceptional with bold details throughout. David Akers commented about the rarity of this issue in higher grades, in A Handbook of 20th-Century United States Gold Coins: "The 1909 is clearly not one of the major rarities of the series but it is certainly very difficult to locate in MS-64 or higher grade. Below that level specimens can be located with relatively little searching. True Gems are very rare, maybe two dozen existing in all, and superb quality examples (better than MS-65) are exceptionally rare and, for all practical purposes, unobtainable." Population: 3 in 66, 0 finer (5/06). (PCGS# 8513)

Auction 420 | Lot 2304 » Half Eagles » Indian Half Eagles
1909 $5 MS66 NGC. An exceptional coin for this date. The Indian half eagle series has several elusive dates, and even dates with generous mintages can be quite rare in Gem grades. A case in point would be this 1909 half eagle. Despite the plentiful mintage of 627,060 struck, only a handful qualify as Gems today, and in this next grading tier, a total of seven coins have been awarded the MS66 grade from both NGC and PCGS. No examples of this date have been graded finer than the present coin. Although 1909 cents of all mintmark varieties and types were hoarded, the gold coins of this date were ignored. Even the dramatic 1909/8 overdate did not appear in Wayte Raymond's Standard Catalogue of United States Coins until 1944.

On the present coin, we note a thin, almost invisible scratch from star 3 to the Indian's mouth. On the reverse there are a couple of minor luster grazes in the field behind the eagle's head, which will serve to identify this pristine coin. The strike is exquisite, with full definition throughout the headdress feathers, and intricate detail on the eagle's plumage, even on the sometimes indistinct uppermost portion of the front wing. Olive-green tints emerge from the subtle apricot toning, and this arrangement of colors is associated with original 20th century gold coins. The satin luster is comprehensive, and the eye appeal is undeniable. The dies are moderately rotated counterclockwise. An opportunity to put away a classic example of a condition rarity worthy of the finest collection. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (10/06). (PCGS# 8513)

1909 $5 MS65 PCGS. Although not produced in particularly large numbers (627,138 pieces), the 1909 is still one of the more available Indian half eagles in circulated and low Mint State grades. Gem quality representatives are, however, equally as rare as those of most other dates in this conditionally challenging series. A typical '09, this example displays sharply struck features and a rich, frosty sheen. The color is predominantly yellow-gold with green-gold highlights. Also, whispers of copper iridescence make their appearance at certain angles. A coin that would speak volumes about the stringent technical and aesthetic criteria of its new owner. Population: 70 in 65, 4 finer (3/06). (PCGS# 8513)

1909 $5 MS66 PCGS. A fully struck and exceptional coin for this date. The Indian half eagle series has several very elusive dates, and even dates with generous mintages can be quite rare in Gem grades. A case in point would be this 1909 half eagle. Despite the plentiful mintage of 627,060 struck, only a handful qualify as Gems today, and in this next grading tier, a total of six coins have been awarded the MS66 moniker from either NGC or PCGS. No examples of this date have been graded finer than the present coin. We note a couple of trivial ticks near the twelfth star, and another at the top of the Chief's headdress below the IB of LIBERTY. On the reverse there is a minor reeding mark below the ME of AMERICA and these ticks will serve to identify this pristine coin. An opportunity to put away a classic example of a condition rarity worthy of the finest collection.

1909 $5 MS65 PCGS. A common P-mint half eagle that is surprisingly elusive above the MS63 tier. This attractive Gem exhibits thick, creamy luster and intricately detailed devices. A candidate for an even finer designation, the orange-gold surfaces are mute on the issue of bagmarks. Only infrequently do we handle a 1909 half eagle in strict Gem condition. Ardent followers of this series would be wise to focus their attention when this specimen crosses the auction block. Housed in an early PCGS holder with a green insert. Population: 74 in 65, 5 finer (7/06). (PCGS# 8513)

1909 MS 65 NGC. Intricately detailed with complete feather definition on the headdress and a frostiness that be must seen to be truly appreciated. The luster on each side is shimmering and virtually uninterrupted by field marks as it rolls over the surfaces. The 1909 half eagle is far scarcer in uncirculated grades than its D-mint counterpart, although more consistently choice.

1909 $5 MS65 NGC. This second year of issue had a rather substantial mintage of 627,138 pieces, but unlike its 1908 predecessor, was not saved in the same numbers. Fewer than a hundred Gems are believed known today, approximately half as many as the 1908. This is an especially attractive and problem-free coin that displays a full strike in all areas and rich green-gold coloration. The fields are noteworthy for their clean appearance, the only mark of note being a milling mark located above the eagle's wing on the reverse. (PCGS# 8513)
