    This is my type coin for the $5 Indian. It's a decent enough Mint State coin for the type, but as a little extra bonus, it has a pedigree and a mint error. I chose the 1911 date because that's the year my paternal grandmother was born.

    Note the strikethrough error, which shows as a depressed area over the E DO in FIVE DOLLARS on the reverse. I am not sure what it was struck through; perhaps a piece of wood or fabric? Not sure what the foreign object was. But it's interesting.
