Description
1911-D Indian Quarter Eagle. Strong D. MS-62 (PCGS).
An Indian quarter eagle set is one of the only gold date and mint collections that can be completed without spending a huge fortune and years and years of time. A complete set of these makes a handsome display, as well. Naturally, there is one difficult key date that presents a challenge to date collectors, and that is the 1911-D, which has the lowest mintage of the series at 55,680 pieces. The Denver mintmark usually comes "strong" as seen here, but can come quite weak - as struck, but even so the Weak D pieces are less desirable. Notice the full strike and usual wire rim on the right side of the obverse of the present example, always found on this issue and one of the diagnostics used to confirm authenticity. Lustrous surfaces and free of all but minor signs of handling, this pleasing 1911-D quarter eagle will become the centerpiece of any set it graces.
PCGS# 7943. NGC ID: 2894.
Estimate: $7500
