1914-D $2.50 MS (PCGS#7947)

November 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Description du lot: An absolutely gorgeous Gem to represent this important Indian quarter eagle issue. Vivid golden-apricot color throughout, wisps of pinkish-rose iridescence also visit both sides to further enhance the eye appeal. Evidence of die fatigue is seen at the borders, not unusual for the issue, but the strike detail is razor sharp in most areas and includes a crisp, fully rendered D mintmark. Only within the lower feathers of the Native American's headdress do we see notable softness, but again not of undue concern in a 1914-D $2.50. A full quota of smooth, billowy mint luster shines forth powerfully from both sides and further enhances this coin's superior eye appeal.<p>Although the low mintage 1911-D garners much of the attention among numismatists when they discuss key date Indian quarter eagles, the 1914-D is actually the rarest issue of this type in grades at and above the MS-65 level. The present example is clearly an important and underrated condition rarity, and it is sure to elicit strong bids from astute 20th century gold collectors.
