- First Year of Issue Gem Proof 1908 Indian Half Eagle 1908 Indian Half Eagle. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. One of the finer examples of this initial year in Proof, which saw a soon to be large issue of 167 pieces--relative to later issues of Proofs which proved to be less popular with collectors than anticipated. Nevertheless, this greenish to khaki color Proof is a delight today, with its microscopic interlocking facets that dazzle and twinkle in the light, and show virtually no signs of handling or disturbances. As the first year of issue, demand is always stronger than later, and this was borne out as the later Proofs saw mintages fall off into 1915 when the final Proofs were coined to the tune of 75 pieces. Few Gems exist and this extraordinary coin boasts all a collector could hope to find. Regal surfaces, perfectly even color, glittering eye appeal and the Gem level of preservation. It would be hard to imagine a finer example of this date. PCGS# 8539. PCGS Population: 18; 13 finer (PR-67 finest).
