A Glimpse into History
The Indian Head Half Eagle, designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, broke from traditional coin designs of the time with its incuse design, where the image is pressed into the coin rather than raised. Minted during a period of significant change in the United States, this coin offers a tangible connection to the early 20th century. The "D" mint mark signifies that it was struck at the Denver Mint, further adding to its desirability, as the 1909-D has the lowest mintage of the series.
