NGC MS-61 $5 Indian Half Eagle Gold Coin - Random Year
The Indian Head Half Eagle coin was the official $5 currency in the US from 1908 to 1929.
The US Mint issued it through the Denver, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco branches. It weighs .2419 oz of gold bullion and features Augustus Saint-Guaden’s design.
The number of Indian Head Half Eagles severely decreased during the economic crisis in the 1930s. Because of their gold content, they were hoarded or melted down.
