1912 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR67
Registry-Grade Example

1912 $2 1/2 PR67 PCGS. JD-1, R.4. The Philadelphia Mint struck a small production of 197 Indian quarter eagles for collectors in 1912, to accompany a business-strike production of 616,000 pieces. The coins were all delivered on March 18 and a single pair of dies was used to strike all the proofs. The coins all featured the sandblast finish used on proofs of that era. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 90 to 110 examples in all grades. The issue is rare at the PR67 grade level and finer coins are virtually unobtainable.

This spectacular Superb Gem is sharply detailed throughout, with fine definition on the lower headdress feathers. The pleasing mustard-orange surfaces are virtually pristine, with vibrant matte luster on both sides. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 11 in 67 (4 in 67+), 0 finer (9/23).(Registry values: N7079)
