August 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: Key Date 1909-O Half Eagle Rare Mint State Grade from PCGS 1909-O Indian Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Truly exceptional preservation for this standout rarity in the United States Mint's popular 20th century gold series. This handsome BU example is richly toned with subtle pinkish-rose highlights to dominant honey-gold patina. Lustrous surfaces are sharply struck with a bold, well rounded O mintmark. From a mintage of 34,200 pieces struck during the final year of operations at the New Orleans Mint, this issue has always been considered a key date to the series. It's status as the only Indian half eagle struck at this branch mint has put perennially strong demand on survivors at all levels of preservation. Usually seen in circulated grades, this is among the most challenging issues of the type to locate in Mint State. Expect strong bidder competition for the present offering. PCGS# 8515. NGC ID: 25ZK.
