NGC US Coin Census for Indian Head $5 (1908-1929)

Owner Comments:

The Indian head quarter-eagle ($2.5) and half-eagle ($5) have the same interesting design. The staunch Indian wearing an impressive headdress was the first depiction of a non-Liberty image. But the way the coin was made was also a first - the devices are all imprinted (i.e. sunken, or incused) into the coin except for the mint mark (if it had one).

These coins are difficult to grade, and I have not seen one in mint state that I did not like.
