***Auction Highlight*** 1908-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 Graded GEM Unc By USCG. With a mintage of only 82,000 pieces, the 1908-S is a favorite semi key date in the Indian half eagle series. Examples of this issue are known in all grades from MS60 to MS68, but the majority of Mint State pieces fall in the MS62 to MS64 range. Gems are scarce, and finer pieces are rarely seen. This MS65 coin is boldly struck and lustrous, showing satiny yellow-gold surfaces. The Indian Head type but especially the 1908-S is known for often showing abraded fields, and even many Gem-graded examples have somewhat distracting marks in the reverse fields. This piece is a pleasant departure from that norm, showing remarkably clean reverse fields and overall exceptional preservation. Eye appeal is outstanding. I’ve included another ms65 for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
