Description

Shining Gem 1909 Five

1909 $5 MS65 PCGS. Though no Indian five dollar gold issue can be said to be readily available at the MS65 level, the 1909, with its generous mintage, is more available in such a state than most. Still, finding a suitable example can require a good deal of patience. This Gem offers rich yellow-orange color with glimpses of peach and aquamarine in the fields. The strike is pleasing overall, and the luster is immense. Only a few faint marks are visible on the portrait, these having little influence on the grade. PCGS has certified a mere seven finer examples (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
