1913 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle MS-63+ PCGS CAC

---

The 1913 five dollar gold piece stands out as a remarkable specimen of American coinage, showcasing an innovative incuse design where the details are sunken below the flat surface of the coin rather than raised above it. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this issue features a total mintage of 915,901 pieces. The unusual design approach gives the coin a distinctively modern, sculptural feel that sets it apart from traditional coinage of its era. On the obverse, the coin displays a profile of a Native American chief wearing a traditional feathered headdress, surrounded by the word LIBERTY and the 1913 date of issue. The reverse features a proud standing eagle alongside the classic national mottos, IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM. This particular gold piece has been certified in Choice Mint State condition, graded as MS-63+ with additional quality verification, preserving its original luster and sharp, recessed details for modern observers to appreciate.
