1909 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. A frosty and very choice example. The obverse portrays Brule Lakota Chief Hollow Horn Bear, who had taken part in Theodore Roosevelt's inaugural parade, March 4, 1905. The Chief died March 15, 1913, age 54, according to the notice in the April 1913 Numismatist. Some have misidentified him as the model for the 1899 $5 Silver Certificates. His true identity as Boston sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt's model for the 1908 Quarter Eagles and half eagles only came to light in an exhibit in the 1988 ANA Convention (PCGS # 7940) .
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800.
The Victor Kramer Collection.


 
Realized $1,898
