1909-S Indian Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS). OGH. Phenomenal quality for a 20th century gold issue that is scarce even at the Choice Uncirculated grade level. This solidly graded Gem exhibits smooth, frosty surfaces that are further enhanced by vivid reddish-gold toning. Highlights of softer rose-gold are also noted in isolated areas - very attractive. Fully struck and sure to please.<p>This is one of the top ten rarest Indian eagles in terms of total number of Mint State coins known. Most Uncirculated 1909-S tens extant entered the numismatic market beginning in the 1970s, although the number of examples in any given find has never been substantial. Also a conditionally challenging issue, the 1909-S is seldom offered any finer than MS-62. This lovely Gem represents a significant find for the advanced 20th century gold specialist. PCGS# 8864. NGC ID: 28GP. PCGS Population: 26; 9 finer (MS-67+ finest). From the Everhart Collection.
