<B>1909-D $10 MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1909-D is a scarcer issue among early ten dollar Indians than the mintage of 121,540 pieces would indicate. Indeed, David Akers, in his May 19, 1998 catalog of the <I>Dr. Thaine B. Price Collection</B></I>, writes: "In Very Choice Uncirculated and especially Gem condition, the 1909-D is one of the great rarities of the series and is, in fact, one of the rarest of all U.S. Twentieth Century gold issues."<BR> This Gem displays beautiful peach-gold and mint-green patina with outstanding frosty luster. An excellent strike results in sharp delineation on the design elements, further enhancing the already impressive eye appeal. A couple of diagonal hair-thin marks concealed in the eagle's left (right-facing) shoulder may help in pedigreeing the coin. Census: 4 in 65, 4 finer (2/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
