Issued during the first year of the Indian Head Half Eagle series, this coin represents a bold artistic shift in American coinage, introducing Bela Lyon Pratt’s revolutionary incuse design—where the devices are recessed below the surface rather than raised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003eCertified by \u003cstrong data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"808\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003ePCGS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"829\"\u003eMint State 65\u003c\/strong\u003e, this particular coin displays strong original luster, crisp design elements, and excellent overall eye appeal for the grade.

Examples surviving in higher Mint State grades are increasingly scarce, making PCGS MS65 coins especially desirable for collectors who value both condition and historical importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eFirst-year issue of the Indian Head Half Eagle series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eCertified and graded MS65 by PCGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eAttractive luster with strong eye appeal for the grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eSharp incuse design details on both obverse and reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eImportant early 20th-century U.S. gold issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoin Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eDenomination: Five Dollars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eYear: 1908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eDesigner: \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eBela Lyon Pratt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eMetal Composition: 90% gold, 10% copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eFineness: .900 fine gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eWeight: 8.359 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eEdge: Reeded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eObverse: Incuse portrait of a Native American wearing a feathered headdress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eReverse: Incuse standing eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eBrand: U.S. Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Images are of actual coin you will receive\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-cert-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/57640116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eView PCGS Certificate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U.S. Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44012419481734,"sku":"LCR779570008","price":8568.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5312\/9094\/files\/779570008-0__14383.1755286278.1280.1280.jpg?v=1779840486","url":"https:\/\/lcrcoin.com\/products\/1908-5-indian-half-eagle-pcgs-ms65","provider":"LCR Coin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
