# 1912-P Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin. PCGS MS-63 | *Bela Lyon Pratt Design*. This exceptional 1912 Philadelphia Mint Quarter Eagle represents a fascinating specimen from the celebrated Indian Head gold series designed by Bela Lyon Pratt. Struck with a modest mintage of 616,000 pieces, this coin exemplifies the nuanced artistry of early 20th-century American coinage. Graded PCGS MS-63, the coin displays characteristic greenish-orange gold patina with subtle granular surfaces typical of the issue. While most specimens exhibit slight softness at the borders, this example maintains strong design details and pleasing original mint luster. The surfaces showcase the intricate incuse design pioneered by Pratt, with sharp relief and minimal contact marks consistent with its numerical grade. From a population perspective, this coin is part of a select group, with only 1,105 examples graded across all levels by PCGS. Of particular note is the relatively limited population in higher mint state grades, making this MS-63 specimen a desirable collectible for numismatists seeking a representative example of this historic gold type.
