Captivating MS63 1929 Half Eagle

1929 $5 MS63 NGC. This final regular-issue half eagle is the only melt rarity within either denomination of Indian Head gold, and it is one of the clear keys to this widely collected series. Like the more famously melted double eagle issues, however, the 1929 is most often found in attractive Mint State, so pleasing survivors are available to collectors today. This boldly impressed Select coin is largely lemon-gold, though elements of orange appear to the left of the Indian's profile and at the reverse margins. The powerfully lustrous fields show only a handful of wispy, yet grade-defining abrasions.
