<B>1909-O $5 AU55 PCGS.</B></I> The final issue of New Orleans gold, the 1909-O also happens to be one of two keys to the Indian half eagle series. The mintage of 34,200 pieces has left too few survivors to satisfy collector demand, and this issue remains the single most expensive piece to acquire in Mint State grades. The collector who opts not to acquire an Uncirculated example could try for a pleasing AU piece such as the present coin instead. This dusky orange-gold representative offers pleasing detail, subtle luster, and only a trace of wear across the surfaces. <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>\)
