<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alexthegreat, post: 7841706, member: 101547&quot;]The mintage of the year 1909 D was 3,423,560 pieces. There must have been lots of dies with different manually engraved mintmarks. On top of them a die has to be polished and reworked during it&#039;s life span. I know for example that $2,5 1911 D was made with only two dies. It has a mintage of 55,600 pieces. As a rough estimation one die worked for about 28,000 coins. So there must have been more than 100 different dies for the tremendous mintage of $5 1909 D.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid 880 Euros for the new 1909 D. It has the typical color and finish of an Indian Head of this year and I am 100 % sure that it is genuine. I find that it is superior to my Ms63 pieces that are already slabbed. The big question is: Does the 1909 D has a realistic chance of getting a Ms64? It is certainly not worse than Ms63.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I own $5 1911 D as well. This coin was gradet by NGC with Au58. I usualy buy rawr coins, because of high quality coins in slabs are too expansive.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1349054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1349055[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
