Description

Near-Mint 1909-O Half Eagle
Low-Mintage, One-Year Type Coin

1909-O $5 AU58 NGC. The 1909-O half eagle is the only O-mint Indian Head five, and the last gold coin produced at the fabled Southern facility. In addition to these factors, the popularity of the 1909-O is enhanced by its low mintage of 34,200 pieces. The demand for this issue is constantly growing, making it one of the most popular coins from the New Orleans Mint.
The present coin is an attractive near-Mint example, with warm, rose-gold surfaces. Only the slightest wear shows on the devices, and the frosty luster is unimpaired. The mintmark is a little weak, as always, but perfectly readable. A few minor abrasions on both sides define the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
