1925-D $2.50 Indian Head Quarter Eagle PCGS MS64

Here’s a better priced beauty to add to your collection. PCGS has graded 2,922 as MS64 with 1,173 finer. Collectors Universe prices this issue at $950.00 in MS64.

Writes David Akers, “The 1925-D is the most common issue of the series in all Mint State grades except MS-65 or better .… Up to MS64, the 1925-D can be obtained with no difficulty but strict MS-65 specimens, although available, are not really all that plentiful. Superb specimens (better than MS-65) are practically non-existent but, of course, this is true of virtually every issue of the Pratt-designed quarter eagle and half eagle series.”

Continues Akers, “The 1925-D almost always has very good to excellent mint lustre ….The mint mark is usually a little weak but well defined .… The color is typically a rose tinted gold but there are also coppery colored specimens as well as ones with green and yellow gold shades.”
