Price history for items of the same classification:
Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
1177The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$650.00
1913 PCGS MS-62.
There are certainly coins that are clinically more "sanitary" than this modestly grungy example, but the collector who wants to maximize his odds of buying a truly original gold coin should see this...
1178The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$2,800.00
1913 NGC MS-64.
Knockout luster shimmers across both sides, unusually strong for the type and unquestionably attractive to high-grade collectors. A high-quality five, only a single linear mark rests beside "Y" in...
955The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$450.00
1913 PCGS AU-58.
Here is a very attractive "slider" that just misses mint-state assessment due to trivial friction on the Indian's cheekbone, as well as a touch of wear on the eagle's shoulder. Lustrous and perfect...
956The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$550.00
1913 PCGS MS-61.
Surfaces exhibit slightly dull sandy gold patina over only a minimal portion of luster. Fairly well struck, and even the eagle's shoulder displays good definition.
522The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$500.00
1913 PCGS MS-61.
Better than average for MS-61, since there are fewer ticks than expected overall, albeit many are concentrated directly on the Indian's cheek. The unusual, dusky greyish-gold coloration demands...
523The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$700.00
1913 NGC MS-62.
Tranquil greyish-gold tone hushes the surfaces, and provides an interesting contrast to underlying glowing gold color. There are slightly fewer marks than expected for MS-62.
524The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$975.00
1913 PCGS MS-62.
Alluring crimson-gold patina dominates the appearance of this half-eagle, setting it apart from the usual run-of-the-mill coloration. Toning fanatics are bound by honor to take a second look! On top...
525The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,700.00
1913 PCGS MS-63.
Friction on the cheek is presumably an effect of storage, with the rest of the coin seemingly free from wear. The medium-gold surface texture is quite attractive, especially across the surprisingly...
1132The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$925.00
1913 PCGS MS-62+.
The surfaces are cleaner than expected of the MS-62 level, and that is probably the impetus for the "plus" grade. That said, both sides seem to be a trifle glossy overall, and several wispy hairlines...
880The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,450.00
1913 NGC MS-63.
Heaps of grungy, dirty grime besmirch the surfaces of this common gold half-eagle -- and that is exactly what collectors of "dirty gold" are looking for. Some stains of greyish residue may be found...
836The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$320.00
1913 NGC AU-58.
The Indian's cheekbone is always the first place to look for wear on a negative-relief gold coin, and that is precisely where one finds the rub that places this coin at the AU-58 grade level.
1036The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$3,500.00
1913 PCGS MS-64.
Struck only to about an average level of definition, but the wholesome carrot-gold patina is very attractive. An unabraded coin with a miniscule greenish deposit within one of the reverse leaves.
950The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$425.00
1913 Indian half-eagle, ICG MS-61
Deep, rich copper color enshrouds the majority of this nicely struck Indian. Occasionally, the patina lightens to a beige-gold color.
951The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$600.00
1913 Indian half-eagle, ANACS MS-62
Glistening with bright gold appeal and plenty of luster. Very minor handling marks overall except for a small bagmark right of the eagle's neck.
952The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$2,100.00
1913 Indian half-eagle, NGC MS-63
Finely textured surfaces exude a brassy golden gleam that is about typical for the issue. As a result of only an average strike, some of the highpoint details are indistinct, particularly at the...
953The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$2,300.00
1913 Indian half-eagle, PCGS MS-63
A rare level of toning for a gold coin is proffered by this rather astonishing Indian gold coin. The high points (which of course include the fields for an incused coin such as this) are layered in...
1074The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$300.00
1913 AU-58++.
An abundance of luster is retained on this visually vibrant and boldly struck example. Its surfaces glisten with an opulent orange-gold, and traces of blue nuances hug the peripheries. A minute tick...
1075The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$650.00
1913 ANACS MS-62.
A little better struck than the average, indifferently manufactured piece. Lustrous and pale gold in color, with several minute blemishes on the Indian's cheek being the primary grade determinant.
1076The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$2,000.00
1913 NGC MS-62.
Better struck than average for the series, with a well-preserved obverse. A couple of stray hairline abrasions surround the Eagle’s head, no doubt influencing the grade. Ideal as a type coin, given...
1086The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$475.00
1913 ICG MS-61.
This specimen glimmers with a luxuriant gold radiance. Random delicate hairlines are detected on its reverse. Complementary to its visual vibrancy is its acutely defined detailing.
1087The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$450.00
1913 NGC MS-61.
An admirable example with a luxurious effulgence being emitted from its golden orange surfaces. Some non-obtrusive surface marks, and one reverse toning fleck, hardly diminish its visual...
1088The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,000.00
1913 PCGS MS-62.
This phenomenal visual specimen radiates a vibrant orange-gold brilliance. Other than a scant number of ticks on its obverse, and a few hairlines on it reverse, there are no significant marks or...
1002The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$2,100.00
1913 PCGS MS-63.
This is a attractively toned $5.00 Indian that is fully struck and problem free. It is fully lustrous and very pleasing to the eye. These are super tough to find in higher grades, so don’t let this...
497The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$300.00
1913 NGC AU-58.
A few scattered marks, mainly on the reverse, and just the slightest bit of wear on the Indian's cheek and the Eagle's wing, prevent a Mint State designation being assigned to this issue. Still, an...
498The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$1,150.00
1913 NGC MS-62.
These incuse coins are really neat. This example has rolling luster, a strong strike, minimal marks, and no distractions.
499The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$3,400.00
1913 NGC MS-63.
A deep orange-gold hue copiously graces the gleaming satinlike surfaces enriched with an area or two of intense blue. This example's strong eye appeal is magnified by its robust strike.
1136The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
1913 PCGS MS-62.
A subdued orange-gold hue completely blankets this issue's velvety, warm surfaces. A scant sprinkling of ticks is observed when using a glass. The details on both the Indian and the Eagle are well...
