1911-D $2.5 Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin PCGS AU 58
Bullion Exchanges is pleased to offer the 1911-D $2.5 Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin PCGS AU 58, one of the most sought-after key dates in American numismatics. Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin contains 0.1209 troy ounces of .900 fine gold and features the unique incuse (sunken relief) design that sets it apart from other U.S. coinage
The Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, designed by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, debuted in 1908 as part of President Theodore Roosevelt’s initiative to modernize U.S. coinage. This series, along with the $5 Indian Head Half Eagle, was the first in U.S. history to feature an incuse design, meaning the details were engraved into the coin rather than raised. While this distinctive style initially received mixed reactions, it has since become a favorite among numismatists. The 1911-D issue is widely regarded as the rarest and most desirable in the series due to its low mintage of just 55,680 coins, the lowest of any Indian Head Quarter Eagle. Many examples saw heavy circulation, making high-grade specimens like this AU 58 particularly valuable.
