For whatever reason you only allow 5 minutes to setup an account with banking info and to pay. With all the verifications that had to be done it took me 2 phones and at minimum 6 tries....that's annoying. We usually shop with APMEX and everything isn't on a timed rushed situation which makes for a much smoother process.

Introduction
The $2.50 Indian Head Quarter Eagle in About Uncirculated condition combines classic U.S. gold coinage with one of the most distinctive designs in American numismatic history. Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, these coins feature recessed design elements rather than traditional raised relief. Dates and mintmarks vary based on available inventory.
History
The Indian Head Quarter Eagle was introduced in 1908 as part of a new artistic direction for American gold coinage. Sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt created an innovative incuse design in which the principal devices and inscriptions were recessed below the surface of the coin.
Indian Head Quarter Eagles were struck from 1908 through 1915, then resumed from 1925 through 1929. Production took place at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The series ultimately became the final design used for the circulating $2.50 Quarter Eagle denomination.
Coins in About Uncirculated condition retain much of their original detail while displaying light wear consistent with limited circulation. Because this listing includes varying dates, the specific year, mintmark, mintage, and individual condition characteristics may vary.
Design
The obverse features a Native American portrait wearing a feathered headdress. Thirteen stars representing the original states surround the portrait. The inscription LIBERTY appears above, with the date below.
The reverse depicts an eagle perched on a bundle of arrows with an olive branch. The inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2 1/2 DOLLARS.
