From an original mintage of 604,250 Indian Half Eagles in 1910, only 346 coins have been certified by NGC in MS 64 with a total of 70 in existence graded higher combined between NGC and PCGS. As a result $5 Indian Half Eagles are seldom seen for sale in this high grade and when they appear at auctions consistently command a considerable interest from collectors. Examination under magnification reveals only small contact marks with none affecting overall eye appeal.
