<B>1908 $5 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> This is the first year of the distinctive Bela Lyon Pratt design. The devices are incused, or more correctly, they are in relief but lie below the plane, or fields, of the surface. Only the quarter eagles and half eagles from 1908 to 1929 used this design technique.<BR> The 1908 Indian Head, with a mintage of 577,845 business strikes, is a common date, especially through near-Gem. MS65 coins are somewhat more difficult to locate, and anything finer is quite rare.<BR> This highly lustrous Gem displays apricot-gold color with hints of underlying greenish-gray. A well executed strike characterizes the design elements, including sharp definition on the Indian's hair and bonnet feathers and on most of the eagle's plumage. The few grade-consistent marks are not at all bothersome. Housed in a green label holder.<BR><I>From The Florissant Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Bela Lyon Pratt<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
