1909 $5 Gold Indian PCGS MS62
One of the shortest-lived series in U.S. coin history, the 1908-1929 Gold “Indian Head” $5 coins are collector favorites today. People love the magnificent portrait of an authentic-looking Native American on the obverse and the proud Bald Eagle on the coin’s reverse. But what really sets these coins apart is their recessed or incused design – which was basically a reverse of the normal die in that the design was pressed into the coin rather than the typical coin where the design rises outward from the coin. Designed by Boston sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, the $5 Gold Indian is joined by the $2.50 Gold Indian struck during the same period as the only U.S. coins ever issued with incuse deigns, making them two of the most intriguing American coins ever issued!
In this offer you can obtain a 1909 $5 Gold Indian struck at the Denver Mint. Each coin available in this offer has been graded by either the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Mint State-62 (MS62) Uncirculated condition, complete with rich intricate detail that can still be savored by today’s collectors!
