Lot 1411
1914. PCGS graded MS-65. Nicely toned. Scarce date in gem condition. In Mint State, the 1914 is typically offered with a sharp strike. The present example confirms this in this regard, and in spades, with all devices crisply delineated from an obviously powerful impression. The color is mostly brilliant in shade, but we do note a somewhat warm-gold sheen at certain angles. Free of individually describable distractions, and housed in a green-insert PCGS holder, the coin is one of the few outstanding Gem MS65 examples graded by the service. The 1914 ranks second in rarity to the 1911-D among the 15 Indian Quarter Eagle deliveries both in an absolute sense and at the MS65 grade level. It is an important issue that can be a real stumbling block to completing a high-quality set. Pop 47; 3 finer; 2 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 7946) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
