Lot 1306		1929. PCGS graded MS-64. First time ever graded for this particular coin. A nice frosty example from an old time collection that offers strong mint luster, a good strike for this issue, and outstanding surfaces. Noitce that the lowest feather on the headdress shows the expected and diagnostic softness in the strike but does show the finer details better than many of this issue. The fields and devices are satin smooth and well preserved, keeping the eye appeal high and the desirability factor strong. The majority of this issue show considerably more signs of handling, and of those seen few exceed the quality of this example. Perhaps 700-900 are known in all grades of this final year of issue of the Indian half eagle. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that no half eagles were produced after 1916, then the 1929 half eagles were struck, and these ended up being the last year of issue. Struck during the historic stock market bubble and crash that swept the nation (and world) as 1929 came to a close. Popular key date. A flashy coin. Pop 109; 18 finer, 8 in 64+, 10 in 65. (PCGS # 8533) Estimate Value $40,000 - 45,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $42,300
Lot 1307		1929. PCGS graded MS-62. PQ. CAC. A nice frosty example that offers the collector a true mint state coin that shows full mint fresh luster and a decent strike. Rarely is this date found at all, and most of the known survivors are in the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range. The strike is characteristically soft on the lowest headdress feather and the often seen low area through STATES OF is present on the upper reverse. Half eagle production came to a sudden and probably unexpected halt in 1916 when San Francisco finished stirking their coins in that year, production would remain halted at all mints until these 1929 coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint, which as events unfolded would become the final year of production for the Indian half eagle. Recently graded for the first time. Mostly untoned and frosty (PCGS # 8533) Estimate Value $30,000 - 33,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $31,725
