Just bought this over the weekend. Thought it was cool. An original 1908 Christmas card with a 1908 $5 Gold Indian in it.

Very cool. In this era, small gold coins were quite frequently used as gifts on holidays. But I have never seen something like this - you really should consider donating to the ANA/ANS - for a generous tax writeoff of course

So let me guess, you go into the antique shop, start digging through post cards, pick this one off for a quarter....

....and that Indian just came back MS68?

Ooooooohhhhhh! I like that! What a great piece of Americana. It was common practice at that time to give gold coins as gifts. Absolutely fantastic! I am jealous!

A very nice preserved item from the gold old days.

Cool beans man, nice find. Was there a priemium over the coin value for this? What does the coin grade?

Nice find, thanks for sharing it with us.
