Attractive MS64 1908 Indian Head Five Dollar
Popular First-Year Type

1908 $5 MS64 PCGS. This first-year Indian Head half eagle is the most available in Gem grades of the type, a phenomenon that recurs frequently in U.S. numismatics. The present near-Gem boasts attractive orange-gold, somewhat mattelike surfaces that are well-struck, save for the lowest ornament on the Indian's necklace. A few minute, undistracting marks on the Indian's cheek possibly are all that preclude a Gem rating.(Registry values: N2998)
