1909-O Indian Half Eagle. MS-61 (NGC).

1909-O Indian Half Eagle. MS-61 (NGC).，This key-date 1909-O half eagle offers a significant bidding opportunity for collectors of 20th century gold coins. The surfaces are handsome medium gold and the striking quality is superior for the issue with overall full definition to both sides and an exceptionally crisp and well defined O mintmark. It is suitably lustrous and quite attractive for the assigned grade. The popular 1909-O half eagle is the only New Orleans Mint coin of the four popular 20th century U.S. gold series (Indian quarter eagle, Indian half eagle, Indian eagle, Saint-Gaudens double eagle). It has the lowest mintage of its type with only 34,200 pieces produced and is the rarest Indian half eagle in terms of total number of Uncirculated coins extant. Examples are highlights of any collection, and the coin offered here is destined to serve as a such in an advanced cabinet.，From the Woodward Collection.，
