1909-O Indian Gold Half Eagle ($5)

A fresh Fairmont collection example of the fabled 1909-O, the key to the Indian half eagle series and the only New Orleans issue of the type. Warm honey-gold surfaces glow with satiny mint luster, and the strike is pleasing with good feather definition in the headdress and eagle. The look is original and wholesome throughout, with only the scattered light marks typical of the 61 grade capping things. CAC-approved and housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder with the Fairmont pedigree on the label - a famed key date with eye appeal well beyond expectations for the grade.
