1915 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2.50 Gold NGC MS60

The 1915 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2. 50 Gold NGC MS60 is a certified uncirculated example of one of the most artistically distinctive gold coins in American numismatic history. Struck by the United States Mint, the coin carries a $2. 50 face value and features the iconic incuse Indian Head design by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt — a sunken-relief portrait of a Native American chief in full headdress on the obverse, with LIBERTY arched above and the date below. The reverse presents a perched bald eagle surrounded by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWO AND A HALF DOLLARS, continuing the same incuse style. The coin weighs 0. 1209 troy ounces of gold. Graded MS 60 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this piece has been independently evaluated and is encapsulated in an NGC tamper-evident slab bearing certification number 3854714-025. The Indian Head Quarter Eagle series ran from 1908 to 1929, making any uncirculated survivor a compelling centerpiece in a collection of early twentieth-century U. S. gold coinage.
