Description

First Year Gem 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle

1908 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. This new design type was unpopular with the public and with collectors of the day. Although eventually acknowledged and accepted by numismatists as a worthwhile coinage type, there were relatively few saved in 1908; and coins graded at MS65 or finer are not numerous. This piece is satiny, well struck, and impressively preserved.
From The Oscar Alexander Collection of 1908 Gold.
