Lot Description

Due to their larger size and thus greater propensity to attract bagmarks, Gem and near-Gem examples of Bela Lyon Pratt's Indian half eagle are decidedly scarcer than their quarter eagle counterparts. This honey and orange hued example is fully Choice and well preserved with no blemishes of consequence on either side. Well struck and displaying a satin to softly frosted texture, this is an ideal piece for the discerning collector working on a set of this conditionally challenging series.
