1910 $5

Coin / United States of America / 1910 / Philadelphia / $5 Indian Gold / $5 (Five Dollars)

The 1910 Half Eagle is quite common up through MS63 but beyond that it becomes very scarce like most issues in this series. This date is comparable in many ways to other Philadelphia minted Indian Half Eagles around this year. Not many high quality gems exist but when they come around they demand a well-deserved premium.
