- Rare Premium Gem 1915 Indian $5 1915 Indian Half Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). This is a magnificent Gem with full, lively mint luster blanketing both sides. The surfaces exhibit traces of powder blue and pinkish-apricot iridescence to dominant deep orange-gold color. Sharply impressed, expertly preserved, and sure to sell for a strong premium. Struck during the first full year of World War I, 1915 saw the conflict in Europe escalate and the United States edge closer to involvement with the sinking of the Lusitania. In that year 588,000 half eagles were struck and overall the 1915 is one of the more available Indian issues in lower grades. However, perhaps only 100 examples survive in Gem condition. Any high-end Indian half eagle is a rarity, in fact, with demand from discerning gold type collectors far exceeding supply. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. PCGS Population: 10; with a single MS-66 finer. PCGS# 8530. NGC ID: 28DX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
