Description

An outstanding $2.50 Gold Indian, graded an impressive MS65+ by the experts at PCGS. This Gold quarter eagle is a very well preserved example of a highly desirable series. The incuse relief devices are very well-struck, with sharper detail than the typical Gem examples from this mintage. Predominantly unblemished fields reflect a brilliant fiery-gold original mint luster off nearly pristine surfaces. This $2.50 Indian is truly one of the nicest examples from this mintage we have seen.

The obverse (front) features a Native American, the first American Indian ever to appear on United States coinage. Previously, Caucasians dressed in Native American attire were used as models. The chief on the Indian Head is wearing a full-feathered headdress with the word 'Liberty' inscribed on the headband. A border of 13 stars and the minting date encircle him. The reverse (back) of the $2.50 gold piece features a proud bald eagle standing among olive branches, surrounded by the words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. The motto 'In God We Trust,' and the denomination also appear on the reverse. The magnificent result was what many consider to be one of the nation's finest works of art in gold.

Minted from 1908-1929, the Indian Gold Quarter Eagle represented a departure from all precedents in United States coinage. Its design features no raised edge, and the main devices and legends are in sunken relief below the surface of the coin. What sets the $2.5 and $5 Indian Head gold coins apart from other United States coins is that they were the first (and only) U.S. gold coins to use the technique known as incuse relief. "Incuse" means that the fine details of the Indian, the Eagle, and the writing are sunken into the gold surface. This new design was created to reduce the wear and replacement costs on these official legal tender gold coins, which were the circulating money of the day. As a result, the fine details of an incuse gold coin are far better preserved today in addition to making them interesting conversation pieces.

Great coins and an awesome company to deal with.

This is a great company to work with. They shipped my coin quickly and in came in an awesome little box and a bubble wrap envelope. The package was trackable all the way to my house. Its really nice to have a company that cares that the items are received in excellent condition. I am already looking at another coin to buy and have no worries about dealing with this great company.
