1911-D $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle MS-64+ PCGS

---

The 1911 Denver Mint quarter eagle represents a fascinating chapter in American coinage, notable for its distinctive incuse design. Unlike traditional coins with raised details, the features on this two and a half dollar gold piece are sunken below the flat surface. This innovative approach gives the coin a unique depth and texture, allowing the intricate details of the Native American chief on the obverse and the standing eagle on the reverse to remain remarkably protected from wear. Struck from 90 percent gold, this specific issue is highly regarded for its scarcity, originating from a relatively small mintage of 55,600 pieces. It bears the 'D' mintmark, signifying its origin at the Denver Mint. The coin features the classic national mottos, including the Latin phrase meaning out of many, one, alongside the trust declaration. This particular specimen is preserved in an exceptional state of preservation, graded as Mint State 64 plus (MS-64+). At this high grade tier, the coin retains its original luster and sharp design elements, making it an extraordinary example of early twentieth-century American gold minting.
