Description

1911-D Two and a Half, MS65
Famous Indian Gold Key
Bold D Mintmark, Seldom Any Finer

1911-D $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. Bold D Mintmark. The 55,680-piece mintage is by far the Indian quarter eagle series' lowest, making the 1911-D the key regardless of grade. At the Gem Uncirculated level, the low mintage adds value despite the 1911-D being only slightly rarer than the 1914 and 1914-D issues in Gem or finer grades. A pronounced wire rim exists at the upper-right obverse, diagnostic of a genuine 1911-D coin. This splendid Gem features a full, Bold D mintmark on the reverse. Smooth orange-gold satin luster emphasizes this coin's virtually unmarked fields and sharply struck motifs. In addition to the strong mintmark, the eagle's shoulder, leg, and tail feathering are razor-sharp and the Indian's headdress is well-defined throughout. This sharp and attractive 1911-D appears high-end for its MS65 grade and offers an excellent capstone to any finely formed Indian quarter eagle collection. NGC Census: 88 in 65 (4 in 65+, 1 in 65★), 4 finer (5/26).
