The 1910 Indian Head Quarter Eagle stands as one of the most artistically daring designs in American coinage. PCGS has graded 40 as MS64+ with 183 finer.
Bela Lyon Pratt’s revolutionary incuse (sunken) relief places the Native American chief in profile on the obverse and a majestic standing eagle on the reverse, both recessed below the fields—an approach no other U.S. coin has ever repeated in regular production.
Struck in 90% gold at the Philadelphia Mint with a modest original mintage of 492,000 pieces, the 1910 is considered one of the most available dates in the series in high grades. Yet examples with superior eye appeal remain scarce due to the design’s tendency to show heavy abrasions in the open fields.
This particular coin, graded PCGS MS-64+, sits on the cusp of Gem condition. It is a near-GEM Brilliant Uncirculated specimen exhibiting radiant mint luster, sharp detail throughout the headdress feathers and eagle plumage, and only the faintest contact marks that prevent a full MS-65 designation. The warm honey-gold surfaces are essentially pristine for the assigned grade, making it an exceptional representative of Pratt’s iconic design.
