1913 Gold $5 Indian Head Half Eagle NGC MS63 CAC Approved

• Only 6.25% of the 1913 $5 Indian have been graded MS63 by NGC and PCGS combined

• Only 277 coins of those have earned CAC approval (less than 0.5% of the total mintage!)

This 1913 Gold $5 Indian Head Half Eagle, certified NGC MS63 and further distinguished by the coveted CAC green sticker, a powerful endorsement of superior quality for the grade.

The Indian Head Half Eagle is one of the most iconic and challenging U.S. gold series. Struck with Bela Lyon Pratt’s revolutionary incuse design, these coins were highly susceptible to contact marks, friction, and mishandling. As a result, truly premium Mint State examples are exceptionally difficult to find, especially those that meet CAC’s strict standards.

Rarity & CAC Significance

• Only 6.25% of the 1913 $5 Indian have been graded MS63 by NGC and PCGS combined

• Only 277 coins have earned CAC approval (less then 0.5% of the total mintage!)

• This places the coin in a very small elite group of top-quality survivors

CAC approval confirms that this coin is solidly graded, original, and high-end for MS63 and qualities that advanced collectors and investors actively seek.

Value Perspective

• CACG Price Guide (MS63): $2,100

• Price Guide (MS64): $4,000

The significant jump in value at MS 64 highlights just how close premium MS 63 CAC examples like this can be to the next grade, making them especially attractive from a value and scarcity standpoint.

Why This Coin Stands Out

• Classic pre-1933 U.S. gold

• Historic incuse Indian Head design

• Scarce with CAC approval

• Strong collector demand and long-term desirability

This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a high-quality, CAC-approved 1913 $5 Indian Head Half Eagle, a coin that combines rarity, history, and enduring appeal in one exceptional package.
