Indian Half Eagles
1909-O $5 AU58 PCGS. CAC. The New Orleans Mint permanently ceased coinage in 1909 after the production of almost 4 million coins with a face value of just over $1 million. The three Barber denominations and the Indian half eagle were the coins of choice. The 1909-O half eagle has the distinction of being the only Indian Head gold coin produced at New Orleans, and it is extremely popular with collectors for that reason. Mint State examples are elusive, and many collectors consider AU58 to be the optimal collecting grade. This example has barely visible high-point wear and trivial grade-consistent marks on its pleasing light yellow surfaces.
