# 1925-D Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin PCGS MS65. A stunning Denver Mint example of the Bela Lyon Pratt Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, this 1925-D gold coin represents a remarkable specimen from a historically significant mintage. Struck with the distinctive design characteristic of the early 20th-century *Indian Head* gold coinage, this piece showcases the numismatic excellence of the Denver Mint during the mid-1920s. Certified PCGS MS65, this coin displays exceptional preservation, ranking among the upper echelons of known specimens. With a total population of just 793 coins graded, and only 144 at this or higher grades, the 1925-D quarter eagle represents a scarce and desirable collectible. The coin exhibits the series' hallmark characteristics: a rose-tinted gold color with frosty surfaces and nuanced mint lustre that speaks to its remarkable state of preservation. Noteworthy are the subtle variations in strike quality typical of Denver Mint productions of this era, with the mintmark showing characteristic definition. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this quarter eagle weighs 4.18 grams and measures 18mm in diameter, featuring a precise reeded edge. The original mintage of 578,000 pieces makes this an intriguing example of a relatively limited production run. Numismatists will appreciate the coin's technical specifications and its representation of the Pratt design, which is renowned for its innovative incuse (recessed) design elements.
