***Auction Highlight*** 1911-d Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 Graded BU+ By USCG. This is a most impressive and thoroughly appealing Mint State survivor of this key date Indian half eagle. Vividly toned in handsome orange-khaki patina, the surfaces are suitably lustrous for the assigned grade. The texture is satiny and relatively smooth overall to allow one to focus on the bold striking detail. While this issue is not the lowest mintage entry of its type (that distinction goes to the 1909-O), the 1911-D is still a very scarce coin by 20th century gold standards with only 72,500 pieces produced. It is also one of the most challenging Indian fives to find in high grade. Collector demand has always been strong for Mint State survivors, with any offering thereof eagerly snapped up by specialists assembling high quality sets. Much of the original mintage was melted during the 1930s, further reducing the potential number of Uncirculated coins available to future generations of numismatists A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
