PCGS Number: 8518 Coin Date: 1910-D Denomination (Short): $5 Denomination (Long): $5 Gold Desg: MS Mint Mark: D Composition: 90% gold; 10% copper Mintage: 193,600 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Five Dollar Gold Half Eagle Coinage Years: 1908-1929 Mint Location: Denver Diameter: 21.6 Fineness: 0.9 Weight (Grams): 8.359 Weight (Ounces): 0.2688 Designer: Bella Lyon Pratt Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: The obverse bears the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right. Reverse Description: The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle. General Notes: Today the 1910-D is relatively common but decades ago prior to a minor hoard it was far more scarce. That hoard contained plenty of low end Mint State examples therefore this date is no different from most others in how the coins are attainable in most grades except for the gems that are especially rare. This Denver minted issue comes with a strong strike and even a very crisp, clean mintmark. The non-hoard coins are actually more lustrous and the color for this date ranges greatly from greenish gold to orangey gold and everything in between. PCGS #: 8518 NGC ID: 28DL
