Additional Description: Minted at the Philadelphia Mint in 1909, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin features Bela Lyon Pratt’s distinctive incuse design, with a Native American profile wearing a headdress on the obverse and a powerful eagle on the reverse. Believed to grade between Good and Very Good, the coin shows the soft wear of circulation while retaining the recognizable outlines of both Liberty’s profile and the eagle’s form. Philadelphia strikes of this era were intended for practical use in everyday commerce, and the coin’s even surfaces and warm toning reflect its life in active circulation.
