1925-D $2.50 Indian Head Quarter Eagle NGC MS64

Here’s a quite attractive—and more affordable—option in a gold coin to add to your collection. “After a decade–long gap in production, the Indian Head Quarter Eagle appeared once again,” writes Jeff Garrett. “The Denver Mint was brought into action and produced a quantity similar to that of earlier years.” NGC has graded 3,853 as MS64 with 1,410 finer. Collector’s Universe prices this issue at $975.00 in MS64.

Writes David Akers, “The 1925-D almost always has very good to excellent mint luster …. 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.”
