Description

1908-D Five Dollar, MS64
Lustrous and Appealing

1908-D $5 MS64 NGC. The 1908-D Indian half eagle is the first-year issue of 148,000 pieces from the Denver branch mint. The issue is plentiful through MS64, but quickly becomes conditionally rare in finer grades. Vibrant orange-gold surfaces are layered in satiny lilac luster for fantastic eye appeal. Abrasions are light and mild, with slight softness on the lower headdress feathers, as usual. Die grease in the first L in DOLLAR serves as a pedigree marker. NGC reports eight numerically finer examples (3/26).(Registry values: N2998)
