Lot Description

Exquisite Gem Mint State 1909-S Indian Eagle 1909-S Indian Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS). OGH. Phenomenal quality for a 20th century gold issue that is scarce even at the Choice Uncirculated grade level. This solidly graded Gem exhibits smooth, frosty surfaces that are further enhanced by vivid reddish-gold toning. Highlights of softer rose-gold are also noted in isolated areas - very attractive. Fully struck and sure to please. This is one of the top ten rarest Indian eagles in terms of total number of Mint State coins known. Most Uncirculated 1909-S tens extant entered the numismatic market beginning in the 1970s, although the number of examples in any given find has never been substantial. Also a conditionally challenging issue, the 1909-S is seldom offered any finer than MS-62. This lovely Gem represents a significant find for the advanced 20th century gold specialist. Provenance: From the Everhart Collection. PCGS Population: 26; 9 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 8864. NGC ID: 28GP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
