1913 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle AU-58 NGC

---

The 1913 gold quarter eagle represents a fascinating era in American coinage, showcasing a revolutionary design concept where the details are sunken below the flat surface of the coin. This incuse design style gives the coin a distinct tactile feel and a visual depth that sets it apart from traditional raised-relief coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a mintage of 722,000 pieces, this 2.50 dollar denomination is composed of 90 percent gold, containing 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, it bears no mint mark. This specific coin has survived the decades in remarkable condition, certified by professional grading services at About Uncirculated 58 (AU-58). At this high grade, the coin retains much of its original luster and sharp detail, allowing observers to appreciate the intricate features of the design just as they appeared more than a century ago.
