Lot Description

As a Philadelphia Mint issue, the 1909 is one of the more underrated circulation strike Indian eagles. Even though the mintage is limited at 184,789 pieces, most collectors have overlooked this important conclusion drawn by Mike Fuljenz in his 2010 reference <em>Indian Gold Coins of the 20th Century</em>:<p><em>The 1909 date is one of the scarcest Philadelphia Mint issues and it ranks behind only the rare and very expensive 1933, 1907 Wire Edge [sic] and 1907 Rolled Edge [sic] varieties.</em><p>Offered is a lovely, premium BU example dressed in richly original honey-apricot color. Lustrous, well struck, and sure to catch the eye of astute collectors of Saint-Gaudens gold.
