Lot 1436
1911-D $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck with uniform golden toning. Popular Key Date to the series. Only 55,680 minted. As a sign of the importance of this auction we are offering not a run of the mill low-end BU example of the key-date 1911-D Indian Quarter Eagle, but this thoroughly captivating near-Gem MS64 example. The NGC-certified piece in this lot is fully impressed with sharp definition touching not only the central-reverse highpoints, but also the D mintmark on the same side, and the lowermost feathers in the obverse headdress which happen too often to be weak and obscured. Both sides are fully lustrous, in keeping with the standards of the issue, and the finish is gleaming with a typical light granular texture. The color is a full-on-gold shade that, at certain angles, reveals slight mingling of iridescence. There are no detracting abrasions or other blemishes, perhaps the most vital element when establishing the desirability of this coin for addition to an advanced collection of 20th century gold. Pop 487; 84 in 65, 2 in 66 (PCGS # 7943) .
Estimated Value $19,000 - 20,000.
