1929 $5

Description

NGC 1929 MS 64. The 1929 has long been considered one of the key dates in the series of Indian half eagles. Apparently most of the mintage was melted in 1934, and today, while almost all survivors are uncirculated, it is a major condition rarity above MS 63, with Akers rating it a high R.7 in MS 64. This is a most pleasing example with smooth, lustrous surfaces on the obverse. The reverse has the same intensity of luster and color, but shows a few stray luster grazes in the fields. A rare opportunity for the collector of this short gold series. Population: 10 in 64, none are finer (4/94).
