1911-D $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-61. Mostly untoned. Key date. Only 55,680 minted. This boldly struck and brilliant gold example exhibits good definition on Indian's features and feathers. The obverse luster is moderately frosty, while the frosted eagle creates a pleasing effect on the reverse as well. Both sides have a few wispy marks, but these are fewer in number and severity than is usual for an '11-D in MS61 grade. Light golden toning graces a few areas. No notable marks on either side, while the mintmark is clearly impressed by the dies (the most valuable state of preservation). The combination of rarity, quality, deep strike and low mintage is formidable in the short-lived Indian head quarter eagle series. The present piece is worthy of a place in a BU set (PCGS # 7943) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
