The 1909-D $5 Indian Head Half Eagle stands as one of the most available dates in the iconic Indian Head series, struck at the Denver Mint during its second year of gold coin production. PCGS has graded 12,748 as MS63 with 4,455 finer.
Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, its revolutionary incuse design—where devices and letters are recessed below the fields—remains unique in regular-issue U.S. coinage. The bold American Indian profile on the obverse and proud standing eagle on the reverse give the coin unmistakable character.
This particular example, graded PCGS MS-63, displays the sharp strike and rich orange-gold luster typical of well-preserved 1909-D half eagles. Light scattered marks and minor hairlines keep it from higher grades, yet the eye appeal remains strong for the assigned grade.
With PCGS having certified over 12,000 examples in MS-63 (and thousands more above and below), the 1909-D offers collectors an ideal opportunity for a high-quality type coin without extreme rarity premiums. Its abundant population in Mint State, combined with the dramatic incuse design, makes this date perfect for an Indian Head half eagle in a gold type set.
