<B>1909-S $5 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> This is a sharply struck example, as are most, and it exhibits beautiful deep orange-gold color with frosty luster. David Akers has estimated that fewer than 20 pieces exist in MS64 or better grades, and current population data seems to support his words, written 20 years ago: "The 1909-S is one of the four or five rarest issues of the series. Among San Francisco Mint issues it is virtually on a par with the 1915-S and is far more rare than the lower mintages 1908-S. Mint State examples at any level are rare and in the high Mint State grades, i.e. MS-64 or better, there are probably fewer than 20 specimens in all." Population: 16 in 64, 4 finer (7/07).<BR><I>From The Jim O'Neal Collection of Indian Half Eagles.</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>)
