Lot Description

Key Date 1911-D Quarter Eagle 1911-D Indian Quarter Eagle. MS-63+ (NGC). Offered is a handsome, fully Choice example of this key date issue in the Indian quarter eagle series. The strike is razor sharp throughout, including a crisp, fully defined D mintmark. Lustrous with warm honey-gold patina, this example would serve as a highlight in an advanced gold cabinet.

It is the rarest issue in this series in terms of total number of Mint State examples known, and it is popular with both Indian quarter eagle specialists and collectors with a wider interest in classic U.S. mint gold coinage.
