Rare, Lustrous Gem 1914-D Quarter Eagle

1914-D $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. The 1914-D quarter eagle is an issue that, despite an original mintage of 448,000 pieces, was simply unsaved in any quantity, and today it is the second rarest of the Indian Head series behind the key 1911-D issue. Perhaps the insecurities brought about by the start of World War I, with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian anarchist Gavrilo Princip, convinced people that they had better things to do with their money. This piece exhibits powerful luster emanating from the orange-gold surfaces, and there are few abrasions of any consequence appearing, even under a loupe. Census: 29 in 65, 1 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N7079)
