The 1908 Indian Half Eagle is very common relative to its series in most grades up through gem condition. Since this coin was the first issue for the series that is why many believe so many uncirculated examples exist today. This issue is somewhat of a condition rarity though as values spike and populations drop dramatically from MS66 and up. This being the first year of the design with satin luster and solid strike makes for a fantastic type coin up to MS65. This date is plentiful and every shade of gold you can want is very abundant.
Obverse Description
The obverse bears the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse Description
The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
