Additional Description: Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1909, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin represents the enduring artistry of Bela Lyon Pratt’s distinctive incuse design, where the devices are recessed below the coin’s surface rather than raised. Believed to be of Fine grade, it displays moderate wear from circulation, yet Native American Liberty’s portrait and the eagle on the reverse remain clearly defined. Philadelphia issues of this date were produced in substantial numbers, but examples that have survived with even color and honest wear, as seen here, are increasingly appreciated by collectors.
