Lot 1764
1909. PCGS graded MS-63. Light even toning over the lustrous surface. Pratt's $5 Indian Heads are struck using "recessed relief" -- a first on an American coin. The Indian $5 continued from 1908 to 1916, then a large gap before the final release of coins dated 1929 at the beginning of America's Great Depression called a halt to most gold coinage other than double eagles (PCGS # 8513) .
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,250.
