Lot 2317
1910 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Rich golden toning. A nice golden luster shoots from this one (PCGS # 7941) .
Historic note: The buying power of an Indian $2.50 quarter eagle back in 1910? Let's see, it took ten of these coins to buy a brass bed that year, $25.00. On the other hand, if you were running a soup kitchen for the needy, 30 cans of Campbell's soup could be yours for $2.50 (three cans for twenty-five cents)! So much for the purchasing power of money under a gold standard.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,250.
