Overview
One of the first gold coins minted in America, and the first to feature a unique recessed design, the $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle’s appearance is like nothing else in the history of American coinage. One of the first US gold coins ever minted, these pieces were in wide circulation due to their popular denomination, yet also had one of the shortest production runs. This has made the Indian Gold Quarter Eagle a rare find and a coveted historical item as well as a smart investment choice.
Gold, especially the gold in the Indian Gold Quarter Eagle which was forged when the United States’ economy was booming, has been the cornerstone of wealth and stored value for over 6,000 years. No other precious metal has been prized as highly and consistently as gold. This piece, specifically, is valued higher than other gold coins for its attached historical ties. $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagles are a sound and brilliant investment for anyone.
Description
Containing .12094oz of gold and printed in a one-of-a-kind recessed fashion, the $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle is a prime example of the beauty displayed throughout the American coin history. From the design mastery of Bela Lyon Pratt, Liberty appears in a masculine form, wearing a high headdress of feathers with the word ‘liberty’ flanking 13 stars representing the colonies. The reverse depicts a regal bald eagle and introduces the time-honored ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM’ and ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’, making this coin a necessity for any American history enthusiast.
Struck during the years 1908-1929 in limited production runs at both the Philadelphia and Denver mints, the $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle remains an uncommon collector’s item. The sunken nature of the coin’s design preserve the brilliance and original feel of this terrific investment. When President Roosevelt required Americans to turn in their gold after the Great Depression in 1933, many Indian Gold Half Eagles were lost to the ages, rendering owning one of these rare coins a unique privilege.
This wonderful collector’s item comes certified by one of the leading coin grading services in the world, PCGS/NGC. Adding this beautiful Indian Gold Half Eagle to your set will only add lasting value to your collection. Although exempt from broker reporting requirements, many hold these historical coins as a truly better purchase than bullion for bulk gold buyers.
