Lot Title:

1909-O PCGS AU-55.
|
|
Description:
|
1909-O is one of the two keys to the gold Indian half-eagle series, with lightly circulated examples expensive, and mint-state coins through the roof in terms of value. (In fact, it is THE key at MS-60 and above.) The appearance of this piece is very nearly that of a low-end UNC at first glance, since only slight wear is apparent on either side. The Indian's cheek and jawbone display minor rub, and even the eagle's shoulder is just barely touched with wear. However, along with the usual small ticks expected of any sunken-relief gold, the fields display quite a few additional tiny abrasions associated with circulation. For the collector who enjoys a high-end UNC set, but doesn't want to invest a year's disposable income into a fully uncirculated coin, an AU-55 that is this nice should suit admirably. And it might require only three month's salary, instead of twelve to pay it off. (PCGS# 008515)
