1915 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle MS-64 PCGS CAC

---

The 1915 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle represents a fascinating departure from traditional coinage methods. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this 2.50 dollar gold piece features a distinctive incuse design, meaning the details are sunken into the flat surface of the coin rather than raised above it. This unusual minting technique gives the coin a remarkably flat profile and a tactile quality unlike almost any other United States issue. On the obverse, the profile of a Native American chief wearing a traditional feathered headdress is sharply defined. The reverse features a proud standing eagle, accompanied by the classic national mottos, including the Latin phrase meaning out of many, one. Containing 0.1209 troy ounces of 90 percent pure gold, this specific coin has been graded in Mint State 64 (MS-64) condition, preserving its intricate sunken details and original luster from a mintage of 606,000 pieces.
