1911-D $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle AU-50 PCGS
The 1911-D five dollar gold piece represents a fascinating era in American coinage, notable for its innovative incuse design. Unlike traditional coins with raised details, the features on this half eagle are sunken below the flat surface of the coin. This distinctive artistic approach showcases a portrait of Liberty on the obverse, depicted wearing a traditional Native American war bonnet. Thirteen stars encircle this central figure, accompanied by the word "Liberty" and the 1911 year of issue. On the reverse, a majestic bald eagle stands proudly. The design incorporates the national motto "E Pluribus Unum" alongside the inscription "United States of America" and the five-dollar denomination. This particular coin, struck at the Denver Mint, carries the "D" mint mark. Minted with a composition of 90 percent gold, it contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. With a total mintage of only 72,500 pieces, this certified Almost Uncirculated 50 specimen offers a remarkable look at a bold experiment in United States numismatic history.
