Indian half eagles are notorious for having weakly-impressed mintmarks. This appears to be a normal 1916-S 5-dollar gold piece with a very weak S.

It may well have been a jewelry piece but the pictures aren't good enough to make a good judgment. The final bid was I think appropriate for a genuine, circulated, and possibly impaired example.

Looks like a F or so grade Indian $5.00 half eagle to me, can't say much about authenticity from the photos, but the price it ended at was just about right, wonder what his reserve was? I'd pass on stuff like this - slabbed maybe on ebay, but if it's not from a trusted seller or major dealer on ebay then I want the coin in hand before paying any money out.
