The 1916-S $5 Indian Half Eagle, graded MS64 by PCGS and certified by CAC, represents the final chapter in one of America’s most distinctive gold coin series. With its innovative incuse design by Bela Lyon Pratt—where the artwork is engraved below the coin’s surface—this series broke the mold of traditional U.S. coinage.
Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the last year of production for the Indian Head Half Eagle, this 1916-S issue is highly sought after by collectors and investors alike. Surviving examples in Mint State 64 condition are scarce, and the coveted CAC seal of approval confirms that this coin meets the highest standards for its grade.
Containing nearly a quarter ounce of gold (.2419 oz), the 1916-S Indian Half Eagle is not only a stunning artifact of numismatic artistry but also a tangible asset from the pre-1933 gold era. Its “S” mintmark, combined with its final-year status and exceptional preservation, make it a standout in any U.S. gold type set.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or a discerning investor, this PCGS MS64 CAC example offers a rare opportunity to acquire both historical significance and top-tier quality in one coin.
A LITTLE STICKER MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Within each number of the coin grading scale is a small range of condition from low-end to high-end. Certified coins of the same grade can be of varying quality. Many of today’s collectors want coins that are solid or premium quality for their assigned grade. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so you can be confident in the value of yours. We verify previously graded coins … and award our sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
WHAT THE CAC STICKER MEANS:
- Verified. Your coin has been verified as meeting the standard for strict quality within its grade.
- Guaranteed. CAC stands behind our verification.
THE CAC STICKER IS BACKED BY EXPERIENCE.
CAC was founded by leading members of the numismatic community, including John Albanese, a respected authority on coin grading and the rare coin market.
