Struck five years into the design’s run, it benefited from improved production techniques at the Philadelphia Mint, resulting in sharper strikes and more consistent luster than earlier issues like the 1908 or 1909.
David Akers writes, “The 1913 is generally well struck with decidedly above average lustre for the series.”
This example, graded PCGS MS-63 with a desirable and valuable CAC sticker, shows the expected light friction on the cheek and headdress feathers, yet retains strong original mint bloom and warm honey-gold color with faint rose undertones.
The recessed motifs of Bela Lyon Pratt’s incuse design remain boldly defined. It is a pleasing, problem-free representative of a coin that, while common for the type, carries the distinctive sunken-relief look that places this series among the most creative in all of American numismatic history.
