1908-D Indian Half Eagle, MS65
Tied for the Finest at NGC

1908-D $5 MS65 NGC. A sharply detailed Gem specimen of this important first-year issue, the attractive autumn-gold surfaces have subdued luster and minimal marks that combine to define the grade. David Akers mentioned that several small hoards were typically MS60 to MS63 quality, although he mentioned the Virgil Brand holdings that contained a small quantity of higher-grade coins. He wrote: "Most of the relatively few choice pieces around today are from the Brand hoard." However, the Brand provenance is difficult or impossible to confirm for these pieces today due to the passage of time. Brand's death came nearly 100 years ago in June 1926.
