Additional Description: Struck at the Denver Mint in 1909, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin showcases Bela Lyon Pratt’s distinctive incuse design, featuring a Native American head adorned with a headdress on the obverse and a striking eagle on the reverse. Believed to grade between Fine and Very Fine, the coin exhibits moderate wear while retaining clear definition in both the profile and the eagle’s form. Denver Mint issues of this era are notable for their careful striking and warm coloration, reflecting the mint’s role in producing high-quality coinage for circulation.
