1909 Indian Half Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.This is a simply beautiful Indian half eagle that will appeal to the most discerning gold enthusiasts. Vivid reddish-gold patina mingles with satiny mint luster, and the eye appeal is extraordinary. The strike is full and the premium Gem surfaces are suggestive of an even higher grade. As a Philadelphia Mint issue with a mintage of 627,060 circulation strikes, the 1909 is one of the more available Indian half eagles in Mint State. However, the 1908, 1908-D, 1909-D, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1915 all have larger populations of Uncirculated survivors. As the Indian half eagle as a type is scarce in grades above MS-64, our offering of this exceptional Gem represents an important opportunity for advanced collectors.
