This collection was carefully put together one piece at a time over a lengthy period in the pursuit of a well matched set of affordable Mint State Indian quarter eagles. Sold as a set only. $7,950.
• 1908 – The first year of issue. A lustrous, straw-gold example with slight strike weakness on the eagle's left wing.
• 1909 – Nice satiny luster under attractive patination. A couple of green toning spots are observed within the recesses on the reverse, although not noticeable without the aid of magnification. The ICG slabs do not work well for this series as the ring covers too much of the coin. This piece is would benefit from a crossover to PCGS or NGC.
• 1910 – An average strike and average surfaces, but attractive overall. The 1910 is actually an underrated and underappreciated date in the Indian quarter eagle series.
• 1911 - This original piece is seemingly undergraded and is an upgrade candidate. The Mint changed the planchets for two and a half coins in 1911 and most show design weakness and surface granularity. The current example is well struck for the issue.
• 1912 – Crisply struck with lustrous surfaces. The coloration is medium yellow.
• 1913 – A pink hue is observed on this attractive piece. Above average, especially for the grade.
• 1914 – The 1914 mintage of 240,117 pieces is second only to the key date 1911-D quarter eagle. In terms of eye appeal, this example fits in well with every other coin in this set. However, since the price jump is over $1,000 between MS61 and MS62, the grading services tend to be more conservative on this date. A nice coin and the highlight of the set.
• 1914-D – This coin has the immediate eye appeal of an MS64 due to the rich, creamy luster, but a few scattered abrasions limit the grade.
• 1915 – Lustrous and possessing an above average strike, this coin calls to an MS63 designation. Very original.
• 1925-D – One of the more common dates in the series. This light yellow-gold piece displays some scattered abrasions that are commensurate with the assigned grade.
• 1926 – A heavy abrasion in the field to the left of the Indian limits the grade on this otherwise lustrous and well defined quarter eagle.
• 1927 – This accurately graded coin is lustrous and pleasing to the eye.
• 1928 – A flashy piece. The grade is likely limited by a hit on the cheek, otherwise this is a lustrous coin with looks nicer than an MS62.
• 1929 – The final year of issue. Well matched to the other pieces in this collection.
