3328- 1909-O $5 Indian NGC AU58
<Our item number 121414><B>1909-O &#36;5 Indian. NGC graded AU-58.</B> Mostly untoned. Scarce date. Much original luster present and largely &#34;old gold&#34; in color with warm golden accents on both sides. Examine it once. Examine it a second time. What you will find is delightful, nearly fully struck devices, with just the faintest touch of weakness at the lowest point of the headdress feathers; the all-important mintmark being bold and clear. 1909-O has the lowest mintage in the series: 34,200 pieces struck. <B>Pop 296.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8515&#41;</B>. <BR><BR>With the Indian &#36;5, unlike his predecessors, designer Bela Pratt chose to honor a real American Indian for a change, not some made-up Liberty wearing an incongruous Indian headdress. And because of this, his design helped to propel American coin design into the World Class league. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;12,000-13,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 121414<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/121414 .jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/121414N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/121414N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
