Nice looking Indian. Doesn't seem to have the usual scuffy reverse fields that the majority of 63's and lower possess. I'd bet that a much smaller % of $2-1/2 and $5 Indians get stickered vs. the same size Liberty gold.
The Indian Quarter Eagles are hard to find with the CAC sticker in circulated grades. The key 1911-D in AU58 being the exception, lots of them around for lots of money. In AU58 the 1911-D costs more than all the other 14 coins in the set. MS64 shows the highest total number of CAC stickers in the entire set.
I finally won the 1911-D in P58 CAC, so I will be tied with two others for Everyman Registry position one. Only fifteen coins in the entire set makes it very popular, and 14 of the set cost little more than melt in P58.
I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
This was my consignment to HA, it's a really nice one that I had passed up many others for. I hope you enjoy it like I did. Glad it went to another forum member.

I'm sure I will. I really like the Indian head gold.

Nice work! Did you get this one graded yourself? Or buy it already graded?

MS $2-1/2 Indian gold, and choice/gem generic gold in general peaked back in spring 2006. It's been a long descent.

Common dates in MS63 seem to have bottomed out in the past 4 years. It is a beautiful coin.
