Description

# 1925-D Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin. A pristine example of the classic *Indian Head Quarter Eagle* series, this PCGS MS-65 1925-D $2.50 gold coin represents a scarce and desirable specimen from the Denver Mint. Struck during the later years of the Bela Lyon Pratt design, this coin showcases the nuanced characteristics typical of its era and mint. The coin exhibits exceptional preservation with vibrant mint lustre and a rose-tinted golden hue characteristic of the issue. Struck during a period of variable die quality, this specimen demonstrates the complex minting challenges of the 1925 Denver production. The mintmark is well-defined, a notable feature given the series' notorious striking inconsistencies. Surface quality reveals a frosty texture with minimal granularity, typical of high-grade examples from this challenging year. With a total population of 793 coins graded, and only 144 at this grade level or higher, this 1925-D quarter eagle represents a significant numismatic opportunity. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin weighs 4.18 grams and features a precise reeded edge. The original mintage of 578,000 pieces makes this well-preserved example particularly appealing to advanced collectors of pre-1933 gold coinage.
