Secure Scarce & Iconic $5 Gold Incuse Indians Discovered in the Famous Fairmont Collection!

In the history of the United States coinage, only two circulating coins were ever struck with an incuse design where the design sits below the surface of the coin rather than above it—the $2.50 and $5 Gold Indians. The theory was that by recessing their design, the coins would last longer. Sadly, this was not the case, but the theory DID lead to the creation of some of the most unique coins ever struck by the United States Mint! And now, thanks to a recent discovery, you have the unique opportunity to step back into the history of U.S. coin design with a stunning $5 Gold Indian coin, the RAREST series of post-1908 U.S. gold coins ever struck! How rare? The $5 Gold Indian coin was issued from only 1908 to 1916 and again in 1929. The total mintage during the 10 years is only 14,078,066!

Bela Lyon Pratt’s Unique Incuse Design
One of the shortest-lived series in U.S. coin history, the 1908–1929 “Gold Indian” $5 coins are collector favorites today. People love the magnificent portrait of an authentic-looking Native American on the obverse and the proud Bald Eagle on the coin’s reverse. But what really sets these coins apart is their recessed or incused design—which was basically a reverse of the normal die in that the design was pressed into the coin rather than the typical coin where the design rises outward from the coin. Designed by Boston sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt at the request of President ­Theodore Roosevelt, the $5 Gold Indians were struck from 1908 to 1916 and again for one last time in 1929, the last $5 “Half Eagle” denominations to be struck for circulation, ending a run that began in the 1790s! The combination of aesthetic appeal and historical significance has solidified the $5 Gold Indian as a beloved treasure in American coinage. Now you can select from a variety of purchase options to add one or more of these coins to your collection!

The Famous Fairmont Collection
The coins available here all hail from the historic Fairmont Collection. One of the largest hoards of pre-1933 gold coins ever found, the Fairmont Collection is a colossal cache containing in excess of 380,00 vintage U.S. gold coins. A hoard of this nature is unheard of in today’s collecting world, and, due to its sheer size, it was loaded with rare coins and coins of unprecedented quality not typically found in a hoard. The coins available in this offer are all pre-World War I coins that were struck between 1909 and 1912 and have been certified, graded, and encapsulated by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in Uncirculated MS62 (MS62) condition.

Why So Scarce?
Collectors often ask why the $5 Gold Indian is so scarce. Several reasons factor into the answer. In addition to the limited mintages, the sweeping Gold Recall of 1933 led to the U.S. government’s confiscation of gold coins as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s efforts to combat the Great Depression. This action, along with general wear and the coin’s tendency to be hoarded or melted down during times of economic uncertainty, contributed to their scarcity. As a result, surviving examples are highly sought after by collectors, making the $5 Gold Indian a prized treasure of both historical and numismatic importance.

Here’s What Was Going On in the U.S. When these Fairmont Collection Coins Were Minted.
The coins in this collection were struck from 1880-1903—when growth and changes were transforming the nation. This period covers the Wild West years of Jesse James, Belle Starr, Butch Cassidy and the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The period was marked by the opening of the Alaskan territory, and by seven states joining the union. Two Presidents were assassinated (Garfield 1881 and McKinley 1901), the Statue of Liberty was dedicated, expansion of the railroads facilitated western expansion, the Spanish-American War started, and ended, Teddy Roosevelt became President, the Wright Brothers conducted the first successful flight in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, and the earthquake and fire of 1906 devastated San Francisco. Just for instance.

This is your chance to secure these gorgeous, quality, vintage gold coins for yourself, for your family and for generations to come.
