1908 Indian Half Eagle, PR66
Usual Deep Khaki-Brown Surfaces

1908 $5 PR66 NGC. Although 167 examples of this proof issue were minted, as the first year of the new Bela Lyon Pratt design in matte proof format, these pieces are also under intense competition from collectors. This Premium Gem NGC coin offers khaki-brown surfaces with the dense, fine-grained, multifaceted texture typically found on the 1908. There is no mentionable contact on this lovely coin, save for a couple of microscopic wrinkles in the fabric that are truly insignificant and well within the context of the PR66 grade. The last example sold at auction in this grade that we are aware of was lot 4495 in a Stack's Bowers August 2013 offering, which brought $44,063. Census: 26 in 66, 12 finer (11/15).(Registry values: N7079)
