1909-O Indian Half Eagle. AU-55 (NGC).This is a handsome and inviting piece awash in a blend of rich khaki-gold, flint gray and pale pinkish-rose. Striking detail remains sharp in the absence of all but trivial wear, the surfaces also uncommonly free of sizeable marks for the assigned grade. The all important O mintmark is near-fully outlined and readily evident to the unaided eye. Popular and eagerly sought at all levels of preservation, both circulated and Mint State, the 1909-O is the lowest mintage and one of the scarcest circulation strike issues in the challenging Indian half eagle series of 1908 to 1929.
