- 1908 Indian Half Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.
An appealing, premium Choice example with original honey-orange and golden-apricot colors on both sides. The luster is full and frosty, and the design elements are sharply rendered and crisp. The Philadelphia Mint produced 577,845 half eagles for circulation in 1908 (the first year of sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt's new Indian design), along with 167 Sand Blast Proofs for sale to collectors. As interesting as the coin may have been to certain inner circles at the Mint, the motif was roundly detested at the time. As a result, very few contemporary collectors saved such pieces. It was not until generations later that they became popular, and today the opportunity to acquire a high quality Mint State example such as this is always greeted with considerable interest.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.
PCGS# 8510. NGC ID: 28DE.
