Thread: 1913 Indian $5

Hi all

I found this the other day and managed to purchase it for spot.

I now have two $5 Indian Half Eagles and have been lucky that both were cheap enough to be bullion, even if the detail is not very good.

However, this coin seems to have pretty good detail, and I would be interested in approx grading and a value from you experienced collectors.

Thanks for your help.

Indian gold - gotta love 'em !

Details - XF45.

Is this image scanned ? It's tough to tell about color / surfaces from scanned images. Based on the photo, the surfaces aren't original. Cleaned, maybe polished.

What's that on the obverse 'twixt I and B ? E and R ? Are those marks incuse, or do they come above the surface of the coin ?
