Wonderful Gem 1909 Half Eagle

1909 $5 MS65 PCGS. By 1909, any novelty value that the Indian Head half eagle design once had was gone. Yet production went up compared to 1908, with 627,060 pieces struck, while the actual domestic commercial use for the coins was flat on the East Coast. Thus, many examples stayed in bank vaults or were shipped overseas, and today, the 1909 ranks as one of the most available issues in MS65, though it is not the most common.
This delightful Gem offers strong detail overall and powerful luster. The wheat-gold surfaces show only a handful of insignificant flaws that are entirely consistent with the assigned grade. An excellent selection for the type collector who seeks a slightly better date. PCGS has certified just six finer representatives (7/07).
