1930-S Indian Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CMQ. OGH.An exceptionally attractive and highly desirable coin - the finest and most visually appealing for the issue that we have offered in more than a decade. Vivid orange-gold color dresses both sides with some variegated hues evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. The fields are smooth and satiny; the attractive mint frost, visible everywhere, highlights the details. Uncommonly well struck in the centers, with the hair below the bonnet bold and all of the eagles wing feathers crisp and clear. Both sides are equally lovely with carefully preserved surfaces that readily support the desirable Choice Mint State grade from PCGS.<p>Eagerly sought at all levels of preservation, both circulated and Mint State, the 1930-S is one of the rarest Indian eagles in terms of total number of coins believed extant. Very few of the 96,000 coins struck left the Mint prior to President Franklin Roosevelts issuance of the Gold Recall Act in 1933. Those that remained in government hands were melted in later years, accounting for the rarity of this issue. The present coin will certainly appeal to advanced 20th century gold specialists.PCGS# 8883. NGC ID: 28HA.PCGS Population: 36; with a further 36 finer (MS-67 finest).From the Fritz Collection.
