1914 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle MS-62 NGC
The 1914 gold five dollar coin represents a fascinating departure from traditional coinage methods. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a mintage of 247,000 pieces, this Indian Gold Half Eagle features an innovative incuse design, meaning the details are recessed below the flat surface of the coin rather than raised above it. This distinctive approach gives the coin a unique tactile quality and a striking visual depth. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse displays the profile of a Native American chieftain wearing a ceremonial headdress, with the year 1914 visible at the bottom. This specific specimen has been graded Mint State 62 (MS-62), preserving the intricate details of its unusual sunken-relief engraving for modern observers to appreciate.
