The Indian Quarter Eagle was first released in 1908. What makes this coin unique in American numismatics is how the fields of the coin are raised higher than the rest of the coin’s design and have no raised edge. This is called an “incuse design”. In fact, this $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle carries the distinction of being one of only two designs in American history to use an incuse design. The other is the $5 Indian Half Eagle. The decision to strike coins like this was not well received when they came out. However, today they are beloved by collectors. Having their production ceased in 1929, the $2.50 Indian Half Eagle was in production for barely 15 years, meaning that there aren’t many on the market. Out of over 400,000 coins minted, less than 1% of those coins have achieved the MS64 grade by PCGS and only 463 coins have been certified by CAC, making this piece highly desirable by collectors. Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces. They are a third party, that verifies previously graded coins and award their sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
The coin(s) featured is an example of the piece we have in stock. The coin(s) you receive may have a different certification number than pictured. Coins that are in PCGS/NGC protective holders will all have a label protected within the holder that will indicate the coin's certification number, grade, date, denomination, and unique bar code.
