The 1909-O Indian Head $5 is the rarest $5 Indian coin and the only New Orleans Mint issue from this magnificent series. Now, as part of the $100 Million American Gold Classics Collection, this 24 karat gold plated replica pays homage to one of our nation’s most legendary gold treasures: the 1909-O $5 Gold Indian. Here’s your chance to experience all the beauty and history of this classic American gold treasure in hand-sculpted, proof-struck golden replica minted under Federal Law 16CFR304. Perhaps the most eye-catching aspect of this design is the dramatic use of “incuse” sculpting – meaning that the Indian Head design is actually struck INTO the surface of the coin, rather than rising above the surface as most other coins do. Accompanied by a fascinating story card revealing its legacy and lore, this stunning US masterpiece comes alive again in this 24 karat replica striking.
Since 1981, Collectible America has procured rare coins, secured bullion, and struck medallions for the American numismatic public as an independent private mint, not affiliated with the United States Government. This independence provides the cornerstone for our commitment to excellence in both product and service, and, most important, it guarantees to our customers essential rights and complete satisfaction.
