I could not find a way to use e-check on checkout so I will have to mail a check. My bank charges to much for a wire transfer.
Introduction
The 1911-D $2.50 Indian NGC MS64 CAC is the most sought-after key date in the Indian Head Quarter Eagle series. Highly prized for its rarity, strong strike, and exceptional preservation, this MS64 example displays outstanding eye appeal along with the added assurance of CAC approval. For advanced collectors, this coin represents one of the finest attainable examples of the series’ premier rarity.
History
The Indian Head Quarter Eagle series debuted in 1908 and introduced a bold new concept in U.S. coinage: an incuse, recessed design that set it apart from every previous American gold issue. The 1911-D is the undisputed key date of the series, with the lowest mintage of all business-strike issues. Struck at the Denver Mint, it has long been treasured by collectors due to both its scarcity and the difficulty of finding well-preserved examples. MS64 coins approved by CAC represent the upper tier of this important numismatic rarity.
Design
Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, the $2.50 Indian features a Native American chief in full headdress on the obverse, surrounded by thirteen stars and the date below. The reverse displays a powerful standing eagle perched on a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing readiness and peace. The “D” mintmark, placed to the left of the arrowheads, identifies this key Denver Mint issue. This NGC MS64 CAC example offers sharp details, clean fields, and impressive originality, making it one of the most desirable representatives of the famous 1911-D.
