Conditionally Rare 1909 Half Eagle, MS66

1909 $5 MS66 NGC. The Indian half eagles are perhaps the most notable instance of serieswide condition rarity in American numismatics; virtually every issue is elusive in Select and scarce or better in Gem. At the Premium Gem level, an example from any date is a noteworthy prize. This 1909 half eagle is beautifully preserved with rich sunset-orange color and strong, slightly frosty luster. The strike is pleasing, with the sculptor's initials readily discernible, and the overall eye appeal is magnificent. One of just 13 coins at this level in the combined certified population, six graded by NGC and seven by PCGS, with none finer (4/09).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DH, PCGS# 8513, Greysheet# 9309)
