Description

1925-D $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle, NGC MS-65. This 1925-D Quarter Eagle represents a classic example of the Indian Head quarter eagle series, one of the most beloved gold coin designs in American numismatic history. Struck at the Denver Mint, this $2.50 gold piece features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Native American motif on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse, a design that graced American quarter eagles from 1908 through 1929. The coin has been certified by NGC as MS-65, indicating a choice uncirculated specimen with only light contact marks consistent with careful handling and storage. At this grade level, the coin displays strong luster and well-preserved detail throughout the design elements. The 1925-D is a readily available date within the series, with reasonable mintage figures for the period, making it an accessible entry point for collectors seeking quality examples of pre-1933 American gold coinage. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this quarter eagle contains approximately 0.1209 troy ounces of pure gold, making it both a numismatic collectible and a tangible asset. The combination of desirable grade, Denver Mint provenance, and the enduring appeal of Saint-Gaudens' artistry makes this piece a solid addition to any gold coin collection.
