Description
# 1911 $2 1/2 Indian Head Gold Quarter Eagle - PCGS MS63. A stunning Philadelphia Mint example of the Bela Lyon Pratt Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, this 1911 $2.50 gold coin represents a quintessential early 20th-century American gold coinage. Struck with a total mintage of 704,000, this specimen offers collectors a pristine representation of a classic pre-1933 gold issue. Graded PCGS MS63, this coin exhibits the characteristic granular texture and subtle greenish-orange gold tone noted for 1911 issues. The strike shows typical characteristics of the series, with occasional slight weakness in the bonnet's feather tips, though the reverse remains sharp and well-defined. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin weighs 4.18 grams and features a precise reeded edge, measuring 18mm in diameter. With a PCGS population of 1,681 total graded and only 1,243 in higher grades, this specimen represents a desirable example of a scarce early 20th-century gold coin. The *Certificate Number 35721656* authenticates its quality and provenance. Numismatic experts note that while MS-63 examples are obtainable, gem-quality specimens remain notably rare, making this piece an attractive addition to any serious gold coin collection.
