Description

1911 Five Dollar Indian, MS65
Prohibitively Rare Any Finer

1911 $5 MS65 PCGS. Vibrantly lustrous fields and sharp devices complement the rich orange-gold and peach-honey hues that comprise this coin's eye-catching luminance. The obverse is especially clean, while a few marks in the reverse field are as expect for the issue and not out of line for the grade. Examples of this Philadelphia issue in MS65 are elusive, and merely a handful of finer pieces are known. We have only ever seen a single finer piece in our auctions, an NGC coin in 2019. The current PCGS Gem is an outstanding opportunity for the advanced Registry collector. Population: 84 in 65 (8 in 65+), 2 finer (8/25).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DP, PCGS# 8520, Greysheet# 9311)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
