Lot #451 - 1909-S PCGS MS-62
Hammer: $5,250
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
No more than a handful of Indian half-eagles are scarcer than the 1909-S despite a fairly prominent mintage near 300-thousand pieces. Acceptable brass-gold hue endows the surface although only minimal luster can be seen on either side. The cataloger notes a small rim ding on the reverse at 3:00.
