If your New Year's resolution was to own more gold, we're happy to help you achieve it with an immensely popular issue... the Indian Head Gold $5 coin.
If you’ve followed our offers in the past, the one common thread is opportunity. At different times, one can make a case for a single asset for myriad reasons. In every category of precious metals as tangible assets, at ASI we actively search out that combination of scarcity and quality to help you Keep What’s Yours.
We believe the Indian Head Gold $5 does just that... a pre-1933 certified uncirculated coin with low historical survival rates, and impressively low premium over the gold content.
About The Coin
Minted from 1908 until 1929, the Indian Head gold $2.50 and $5 are the first and only United States coins to employ “incuse” relief, meaning the design was impressed into the surface of the coin rather than being raised above the surface. This attractive series was designed by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, who had worked under the tutelage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. In fact, the Saint-Gaudens gold $20 and $10 circulated alongside Pratt’s coinage.
The obverse design of the $5 Indian Gold coin famously features the first Native American image to appear on United States coinage. The Indian Head is facing left with a full-feathered headdress, flanked by thirteen stars representing the original colonies, and with “LIBERTY” above the coin.
On the reverse of the coin, we see a watchful eagle clutching an olive branch, perched on a bundle of arrows. The inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” appears across the top of the coin, “E. PLURIBUS UNUM” to the left, and “IN GOD WE TRUST” to the right. Finally, the denomination 5 DOLLARS is positioned below.
Why We Like This Coin for Your Portfolio
Pre-1933 gold coins have long been an important addition to any precious metals portfolio because they carry both rarity and affordability. While these coins were intended for circulation and daily trade, many of them ended up being melted or sent overseas as part of large government payments.
One interesting diagnostic that we can use to understand the rarity of this issue is the PCGS Survival Estimate, which according to PCGS, “represents an average of one or more experts’ opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.”
For the 1911 $5 Gold Indian with a reported mintage of nearly 915,000 pieces, PCGS shows a survival estimate of only 32,166 of all known graded and raw examples!
For the 1912 $5 with a mintage of around 790,000 pieces, they show a survival estimate of only 36,000 pieces.
That means of the original mintages only 3.5% and 4.5% respectively, survived. We can easily envision both stateside and worldwide demand of 30,000 pieces, making this a very compelling addition to any precious metals portfolio.
Today, we are excited to offer a limited selection of two-coin sets which include both the 1911 and the 1912 $5 Indian gold coin, each struck at the Philadelphia mint. Each coin is certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in the impressive brilliant uncirculated grade of MS62.
