1908 Indian Five, MS65
'Rattler' Holder Type Coin

1908 $5 MS65 PCGS. The first-year Indian five was well saved at the time of issue, contributing to it being a collectible type coin in MS65. This piece will satisfy a high-quality collection, showing luminous orange-gold surfaces and well-struck devices, with only light high-point marks to determine the grade. The Indian Head type in general is difficult to find in Gem condition compared to lower grades, owing to the elevated fields that were prone to abrasions even among Uncirculated pieces. Housed in a Generation 1.2 "rattler" holder.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DE, PCGS# 8510, Greysheet# 9308)
