The Indian Half Eagle Series represented both a unique departure from the norm in American coinage and a challenging production history. The Indian Half Eagle was one of two incuse coins introduced in 1908 by the US Mint, with the other being the Indian Quarter Eagle. Common characteristics of the series include design variations resulting from die deterioration and subtle mint mark devices. Right now, the 1912-S Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin in MS62 condition is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1912-S Pre-33 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle Coin is in Mint State 62 condition. A typical MS62 coin may exhibit impaired mint luster with clusters of small contact marks that may feature in the primary focal fields. This particular specimen retains a soft, satin-like luster with a warm yellow-gold color and toning that exhibits a gentle olive-honey hue.
Due to the struggles the US Mint experienced over time in producing Indian Half Eagle Coins, largely as a result of die deterioration, finding high-quality Mint State specimens in the 21st century is difficult. The PCGS notes that coins from the 1912 Indian Half Eagle are a near-impossibility above MS63, making this MS62 specimen a rather scarce survivor from a release that already had a limited mintage at San Francisco in 1912.
The obverse of the 1912-S Pre-33 Indian Half Eagle Coin comes with an image of an indigenous chieftain. This incuse-struck design offers a left-profile glimpse of the chieftain wearing a ceremonial headdress. The field includes 13 stars with the word LIBERTY and the date.
On the reverse of 1912-S $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle, you will find the image of an American bald eagle. The eagle is shown here in left-profile relief as it stands vigilant on top of a sheaf of arrows. The sheaf is wrapped in an olive branch.
