AU Sharpness 1909-O Indian Five

1909-O $5 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. The New Orleans Mint shut down its coinage presses for the final time a century ago, but not before striking a final rare issue, the 1909-O half eagle. It is the only O-mint issue of the Indian half eagle series, and the first Louisiana production of that denomination since 1894. This olive-gold example is subdued and somewhat granular, but the mintmark is well outlined and the devices have pleasing detail.(Registry values: N2998)
