    It looks like a genuine coin to me and I'd grade it in the high VF low EF range, but what do I know.

    Over the last 50 years I've bought, sold and owned hundreds of US gold coins and the only one that ended up being counterfeit was a 1908-D $5 Indian.

    45, nice coin. Looks like an old ngc holder, and an S mint mark peeking out.

    I saw a fair amount of luster in the protected areas, which would normally call for the EF-45 grade, but these $5 Indians with the incuse design wear differently. It takes a lot of use to get to the deep recessed areas of the design, so when you are grading these coins, you have to look more at the fields and high areas of the design. Judging by the fields and high points, I would stay say EF-40.

    Back in the 1960s, this would have been a Choice VF (VF-30 in today's language.) The first $5 Indian I ever owned I purchased from a classmate in high school in 1965. I bought a 1911 $2.50 in AU from him in the same deal. My purchase caused quite a sensation at school and introduced some kids to coin collecting.

    One kid actually ended up with a number of gold coins. Unfortunately he kept them in his car and somebody broke in and took them.

    If it makes you feel any better, it could have been an "AU" back then too. And if you will willing to clean it up a bit, it could have been "BU." That could have met, "Brilliant Uncirculated" or "Been Used."

    The "reveal" looks like it has more luster than the original pics. I like it a lot and think it is properly graded.

    I'm cool with a 45 too, particularly considering @tommy44's observation, which matches my own. Nice coin & thanks for sharing. :)

    Nice.
    My 5sec "guess", based on the original pic, was a 40.
    May be why it was still in the small, older, ANACS holder....if anyone attempted, PCGS may not have wanted to cross at 45.
    Or, person could have just enjoyed the coin as a 45 in the holder, as I think you will do.

    Nice looking coin with actual use history from over a century ago :)
