# 1913 Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin. PCGS MS-63 | Philadelphia Mint. An exceptional example of the Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, this 1913 $2.50 gold piece represents a key collectible from the early 20th-century Bela Lyon Pratt design. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a modest mintage of 722,000 pieces, this coin showcases the distinctive incuse design characteristic of Pratt's innovative numismatic artistry. Graded PCGS MS-63, this coin exhibits superior characteristics for its era. The piece features the hallmark light to medium yellow gold coloration typical of the series, with notably above-average luster that distinguishes it from contemporaneous issues. The surfaces display the characteristic slight granularity common to Indian Head gold coins, a testament to the minting techniques of the period. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this *18mm* quarter eagle weighs 4.18 grams and features a reeded edge. With a population of 1,740 total graded, this coin represents a relatively scarce example of an already limited mintage. The PCGS certification (No. 59080509) ensures the coin's authenticity and quality, making it an attractive addition to any serious numismatic collection.
