<B>1929 $5 MS62 NGC.</B></I> With most of the mintage melted in the mid 1930s, the 1929 is one of the rarest dates in the entire series of Indian half eagles, despite an original mintage of 662,000 coins, the seventh largest mintage of the series. This is a lustrous example of the date that is well struck in all areas (not always the case) and showing minor marks on both sides. In 1981, Abner Kreisberg and Jerry Cohen stated: "There are some scattered light contact marks on face and in fields. The scarcest and most wanted date in this Indian head series of half eagle."<BR><I>Ex: Windsor Collection (Quality Sales Corp. 11/1981), lot 443.</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>)
