Near-Mint 1911-D Two and a Half, Strong D

1911-D $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS. The 1911-D quarter eagle is always a popular key issue from the Indian Head series, despite the availability of examples in nearly any grade sought. Since it is the key and one of only three mintmarked issues (all D-mints) in the series, most collectors opt for the Normal D variety rather than the Weak D pieces on the market. In A Collector's Guide to Indian Head Quarter Eagles the authors write that "it makes no sense to pay a strong premium for a mintmarked issue and to not be able to clearly see the mintmark." Picky collectors should also opt for a well-struck coin overall. This is a bright coin that displays much original mint luster and pronounced granular surfaces. The only marks of any note are a couple of light abrasions in the right reverse field. The mintmark is indeed strong, but the lip of the PCGS slab covers about half of it; however angling the coin under a good light reveals the strong definition listed on the insert.(Registry values: N2998)
