Lot Description

Impressive and highly significant CAC-approved Mint State preservation for this key date Indian eagle issue. Pleasingly sharp in strike, both sides also offer bountiful mint frost and soft golden-honey color.<p>One of the lower mintage entries among circulation strike Indian eagles, the 1915-S was produced to the extent of just 59,000 pieces. Uncirculated survivors are scarce in an absolute sense and rarer than those of the 1910-S, 1912-S, 1914-S and 1916-S, to name just a few other issues of this type. In fact, this is the eighth rarest Indian eagle in Mint State, with perhaps no more than 350 Uncirculated examples remaining in all grades. Only a dozen examples at this level have been stickered by CAC, emphasizing the fleeting nature of this offering for quality-conscious gold collectors.
