- Key Date 1911-D Quarter Eagle in Choice Mint State 1911-D Indian Quarter Eagle. MS-63+ (NGC). CAC. A wonderfully original example with warm honey-rose color blanketing both sides. Sharply struck and free from notable imperfections, this piece certainly approaches near-Gem condition in many respects. Introduced in 1908 alongside the artist's similarly styled Indian half eagle, Bela Lyon Pratt's Indian quarter eagle was innovative with its recessed or incuse designs. There are only 15 circulation strike issues in the Indian quarter eagle series, and most are readily obtainable, especially in lower Mint State grades. The exception is the 1911-D, with just 55,680 pieces produced, making it the scarcest issue of the type in all grades. For the numismatist assembling a superior Indian quarter eagle set, this premium survivor represents a significant bidding opportunity. PCGS# 7943. NGC ID: EGZ7.
