Shimmering MS66 1909 Five Dollar

1909 $5 MS66 PCGS Secure. Peach-gold luster bathes this shimmering and beautifully preserved Premium Gem. The obverse appears nearly pristine, and the reverse displays only infrequent and inconsequential contact. The strike is full throughout the headdress, and inexact only the upper tip of the eagle's front wing. A few thousand 1909 half eagles avoided the great Treasury melts by hiding in foreign bank vaults. Those pieces eventually returned to American shores, and anyone who needs an abraded MS61 or MS62 example will have little difficulty obtaining one. However, those who hold out for the very finest quality have found what they are waiting for. Population: 8 in 66, 0 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N7079)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
