1911-D $2 1/2
1911-D $2 1/2 MS64+ PCGS. The 1911-D comes from a mintage of only 55,680 pieces, by far the lowest production total in the series. According to Mint Reports of the period, the quarter eagle denomination did not circulate to any meaningful extent by 1911. Most of the coins struck that entered commerce eventually found their way back to the Treasury and the Mint, ultimately serving no essential purpose with their existence. These conditions likely produced the limited mintage at Denver in 1911. Because of its low mintage, the 1911-D is far and away the key date in the Indian quarter eagle series, and it is especially rare at the Gem grade level. The current Plus-graded Choice example is about as fine as the date comes without collectors having to shell out significant sums. Even so, it is one of only a few dozen pieces known in this grade with a Plus designation, setting it apart from the majority of its peers. Rich pumpkin-gold and peach-orange hues adorn each side, while the luminous surfaces lack serious abrasions. The fields are largely clean, and the only potential thing to note is slight strike softness on the lowest headdress feather. HID10510052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
