1909-D PCGS MS-63 $5 Indian Half Eagle Gold Coin
The US Mint manufactured Indian Half Eagles containing .2419 oz of gold bullion and an alluring design featured by Augustus Saint-Guadens from 1908 to 1929.
These coins were issued through Denver, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco branches to meet internal demand and serve as the official $5 in the US.
Those minted in Denver carry the “D” mintmark on the reverse side.
The higher prices of gold in the 1930s resulted in a massive hoarding and meltdown movement of gold coins. Several $5 Indian Half Eagles and other Pre-1933 Gold Coins disappeared, seriously affecting their availability in the bullion market.
Today, SD Bullion offers 1909-D $5 Indian Half Eagle Gold coins, sealed and certified by PCGS as MS-63 coins.
