1910-D $5

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

Today the 1910-D is relatively common but decades ago prior to a minor hoard it was far more scarce. That hoard contained plenty of low end Mint State examples therefore this date is no different from most others in how the coins are attainable in most grades except for the gems that are especially rare. This Denver minted issue comes with a strong strike and even a very crisp, clean mintmark. The non-hoard coins are actually more lustrous and the color for this date ranges greatly from greenish gold to orangey gold and everything in between.
