1912 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle CACG MS63 (CAC Certified)

Only 19 examples of the 1912 $5 Indian are graded MS63 (Just 2 received a higher grade!)

This exceptional 1912 $5 Indian Head Half Eagle, graded MS63 by CAC Grading (CACG), represents one of the most desirable and elusive pieces in early 20th-century U.S. gold coinage. 

Certification & Population

Certified Mint State 63 by CACG, this coin is accompanied by CAC’s prestigious green approval sticker, confirming superior quality for its assigned grade. According to current CACG population data:

• Only 19 examples of the 1912 $5 Indian are graded MS63.

• A mere 2 coins are graded finer by CACG, making this piece an elite example within its class.

Rarity & Market Comparison

CACG values an MS64 1912 $5 Indian at approximately $3,750, with a population of just one, underscoring the rarity of this issue at higher grades.
Among 1912 Half Eagles graded MS63 by PCGS and NGC, fewer than 5% have earned CAC approval, making this date one of the most difficult in the entire Indian Half Eagle series to secure CAC certification.

Design & Historical Appeal

Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, the Indian Head $5 Half Eagle stands out as one of America’s most innovative coin designs, featuring an incuse relief portrait of a Native American chief on the obverse and a majestic standing eagle on the reverse. Struck in .900 fine gold, this coin not only holds intrinsic precious metal value but also immense historical and numismatic significance.

Collectors seeking quality, scarcity, and long-term stability in pre-1933 U.S. gold will recognize the appeal of this superb 1912 issue.
