Description

1909 Five Dollar, MS66
Among the Finest Certified

1909 $5 MS66 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The 1909 Indian half eagle is many times scarcer overall than its Denver counterpart, but examples are still usually accessible in grades through MS65 with a little patience. However, Premium Gems are conditionally rare, and none are certified finer. We have previously handled only seven PCGS-certified Premium Gems within the last decade.

The former Simpson coin displays a bold strike and luminous peach-orange mint luster. The fields are largely devoid of abrasions, and only slight contact on the Indian chief's cheek prevents an even finer classification. PCGS and NGC combined list only 23 submissions in MS66 and MS66+, including possible duplication (9/25). Population: 15 in 66 (3 in 66+), 0 finer (9/25).
