Common Date $2.50 Indian N/P MS62

These Gold Indian Quarter Eagles were minted from 1908-1915, and again from 1925-1929. Commissioned by Teddy Roosevelt, who desired to refine America’s bland coinage into works of monetary art.

Designer, Pratt, developed an innovative incuse Indian design that was a shocking departure from all earlier U.S. coinage. More importantly to American numismatics, Roosevelt began a renaissance in American money in the early 20th century, elevating U.S. coinage to the status of great art, making these coins some of the most collected gold coins in the market today.
