Additional Description: Struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1909, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin illustrates the distinctive artistry and craftsmanship of early twentieth-century American coinage. The obverse features a Native American profile, while the reverse presents a boldly rendered eagle. Believed to grade Fine, the piece shows moderate circulation wear, yet the details of both the profile and the eagle remain well defined. San Francisco issues of this period often display a pleasing richness of color and sharpness of strike, qualities influenced by the mint’s proximity to the nation’s western gold supply.
