- Evenly patinated in deep honey-olive with a tinge of pinkish-gold, both sides are boldly to sharply defined throughout with a clear, fully rounded O mintmark. Frosty in texture with plenty of original luster discernible as the surfaces dip into a light. An attractive example of a key date 20th century gold issue that will see spirited bidding among advanced collectors.<p>From a mintage of 34,200 pieces struck during the final year of operations at the New Orleans Mint, this issue has always been considered a key date in the series. Its status as the only Indian half eagle struck at this branch mint has put perennially strong demand on survivors at all levels of preservation. Usually seen in circulated grades, but even in the lower AU grades demand outstrips supply.
