Description

1908 Quarter Eagle, MS66
First of a New Design

1908 $2 1/2 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Bela Lyon Pratt, a Boston sculptor who studied under Augustus Saint-Gaudens, designed the Indian quarter eagles and half eagles in a distinctive sunken design where the fields are the high points of the coin. This design is typically called "incuse" although that is not fully accurate. The actual design elements are raised, but they are sunken below the surrounding surfaces. These first year coins have the highest population of any issue in MS66 or better grades yet they are still elusive in those grades. Hints of pink toning appear on the satiny yellow-gold surfaces of this brilliant and lustrous Premium Gem.(Registry values: N4719)
