A vast collection of Pre-33 US Gold Coins, housed in foreign vaults for decades, was rediscovered and brought back to the United States in the 2010s, later dubbed the Fairmont Collection. Among them were Indian Gold Half Eagles, a striking series introduced in the early 20th century. Now, 1909 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coins in certified condition are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of the 1909 Indian Gold Half Eagle depicts a left-facing portrait of a Native American figure wearing a feathered headdress. This powerful design, created by Pratt, was a significant milestone as it marked the first time an indigenous figure was portrayed on U.S. coinage.
On the reverse of 1909 $5 Indian Half Eagle Coins, Pratt’s design captures the majestic American bald eagle perched on a bundle of arrows tied with an olive branch. This timeless symbol of strength and peace complements the bold innovation of the coin’s obverse.
The 1909 issue stands out in series history as the only year in which coins were struck at four mints: Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, and San Francisco, with Denver producing the highest mintage at over 3.4 million pieces. Philadelphia issued the second-highest volume at 627,060 coins, followed by the San Francisco Mint with 297,200 coins. The New Orleans Mint, in its final year of operation, struck just 34,200 specimens.
These 1909 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coins are available in Mint State 64 condition. MS64 coins showcase average mint luster for the age and strike, with several small contact marks possible in groups. Other possible flaws include one or two moderately heavy marks and one or two small patches of hairlines.
