The 1911-S has the second highest mintage of all Indian Half Eagles except that does not reflect its modern day numismatic rarity and value. This coin is surprisingly scarce in Mint State grades and is certainly not just a simple type coin. This is a truly underrated date since the assumption is it is just another common date that you can find even raw at any coin show. In reality it is nearly as rare as any other better date S-Mint in the series.
Obverse Description
The obverse bears the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse Description
The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
