1915 Indian Gold Half Eagle ($5)

The 1915 Indian Head Half Eagle represents one of the final issues of this classic gold series, which would end abruptly in 1916 when gold coins were withdrawn from circulation due to rising bullion values during World War I. This date enjoys moderate availability compared to some of the series' rarer issues, making it an excellent candidate for both type and date collectors.

This CAC-approved MS64 example radiates with rich honey-gold luster that flows effortlessly across both sides of the coin. The strike is bold, with exceptional detail in the headdress feathers and the eagle's intricate wing feathers. The surfaces show minimal marks for the grade, with clean fields that allow the luster to shine unimpeded. The eye appeal is outstanding, with a completeness of strike and richness of color that exemplifies what CAC looks for when approving coins at this grade level.
