Lot 1842
1911-D $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck. Lightly toned. Popular key date. 55,680 coins minted. Mint mark very strong. Strictly Gem quality and very frosty. Gold specialists recognize the importance of the 1911-D Quarter Eagle rarity for what it is, the key impediment to assembling a 15-piece Indian $2.50 set. The condition rarity of this issue is beyond belief, and the obvious fact that the higher the Mint State rating the more challenging it becomes makes this date almost unapproachable in Gem condition. The acquisition of a Mint State 65 1911-D not only requires a substantial outlay, but the patience of Job as well.
Offered here is a truly beautiful frosty Mint State 65. The fields are nearly flawless with only the most minute abrasions visible, and these only with the aid of a lens. The strike details are fully brought up as well, including the important mintmark. A landmark offering for the specialist. (NGC holder 1500607-001) Pop 60; 2 finer in 66.
Estimated Value $75,000 - 80,000.
