Description

Outstanding MS65+ 1908 Indian Five

1908 $5 MS65+ PCGS Secure. The Liberty Head design took its last bow on circulating coinage in 1908, giving way to the Pratt Indian Head design. Nearly a million pieces were struck between the two types, a majority of them Indian Heads. The 1908 Indian half eagles were saved as the first of their kind, and even Gems are available for a price, but this example offers something extra. It is solidly struck with luminous surfaces that are well-preserved save for the usual tiny marks and a small scrape at the upper right reverse. The color is attractive yellow-orange with blue-green overtones on the obverse. PCGS has certified just 18 numerically finer examples (7/10).(Registry values: N4719)
