# 1914-D Indian Head $5 Gold Piece PCGS MS65 - A Rare Denver Mint Treasure. A truly exceptional Indian Head gold half eagle from the Denver Mint, this 1914-D represents one of the most elusive and desirable specimens in the pre-1933 gold series. Struck during a pivotal period in American numismatic history, this *Bela Lyon Pratt* designed coin showcases remarkable preservation and historical significance. Graded a premium PCGS MS65, this specimen belongs to an incredibly limited population, with only 18 total examples graded and a mere 5 at this or higher level. The coin exhibits characteristic Denver Mint characteristics, featuring a nuanced strike with bold relief and an attractive orange-greenish gold patina. Its surfaces display subtle granularity typical of the era, lending authentic visual texture without compromising the coin's exceptional eye appeal. The 1914-D $5 gold piece emerged from a modest mintage of 247,000 pieces, making high-grade survivors exceptionally scarce. With a composition of 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams and measuring 21.6mm in diameter, this coin represents a pinnacle of early 20th-century American coinage. Its reeded edge and precise *PCGS certification* (#25673102) further enhance its collectibility and investment potential. Provenance and Rarity: Considered nearly impossible to find in superior grades, this MS65 example represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the discerning numismatist. Its remarkable state of preservation, combined with extreme rarity, makes this 1914-D Indian Head half eagle a true cornerstone for any advanced gold coin collection.
