Lot Description

Condition Census 1913 Indian $5 1913 Indian Half Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). An intensely lustrous example with blended honey and yellow gold patina throughout. It is sharply struck and boasts exceptional eye appeal for this challenging issue. With only three coins ranking finer at PCGS, this an incredible opportunity for advanced Indian Head gold specialists. The 1913 Indian $5 is a tremendous condition rarity, with pieces readily available in lower Mint State but increasingly unavailable approaching Gem. While nearly 1 million coins were struck, this issue saw heavy use in commerce beginning at the dawn of World War I and continuing through the Roaring Twenties. Only about 41,000 coins are estimated to survive in all grades, with fewer than 150 estimated at the Gem level. This particular example is absolutely one of the most desirable known.
