1909 O $5 Gold Half Eagle MS-60N

The 1909-O is a distinct one-year type coin which is immediately recognizable as the only Indian Head half eagle from New Orleans. In addition to being a one-year type, it is also a last year issue. ?The 1909-O half eagle is one of the ultimate condition rarities. ?A total of 34,200 were made and from the pattern of grade distribution which exists for this date, it is plain to see that it did see a good deal of local circulation.? IPM recommends New Orleans mint coins as a long-term hold in your metals portfolio. Rare coins such as this example have proven to be an incredible investment, showing massive growth in value since the 70's, according to the PCGS 3000 report. This coin has been called one of the "Top 10 New Orleans mint coins to own" by noted numismatist Douglas Winter and is a top recommendation by IPM as well.
