Popular First-Year-Of-Issue 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

Bela Lyon Pratt’s quarter eagle and half eagle avoided the motto controversy that swept the recently introduced Saint-Gaudens gold types. But Pratt’s novel recessed relief design had its naysayers, who thought that germs would accumulate within the devices. However, the principal numismatic difference between the Indian quarter eagle and its Liberty predecessor is that high grades for the former are more difficult to obtain. This is because the fields are the highpoints of the design, and are unprotected from abrasions.

The 1908 Indian quarter eagle was well saved at the time of issue and as a result, examples are plentiful in Gem condition today, and Premium Gems are only marginally scarce. However, of the 127 coins graded MS66 at PCGS, only ten of those pieces carry a Plus designation, and just four are certified finer.

$10 Indian Rarity – 1930-S Indian Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

 The 1930-S is one of the premier keys in the Indian eagle series. Only 96,000 pieces were struck, most of which remained in Mint vaults until the Gold Recall order of 1933, after which they were destroyed. Only a small number of pieces were ever available to collectors through traditional business, either via the Mint Cashier or distribution to federal reserve banks.
In their gold coin Encyclopedia, Garrett and Guth write, “In terms of overall rarity, this date ranks a little behind the 1920-S, with just a few hundred known in all, and those are scattered across the grading spectrum.” By population figure, this assessment of the 1930-S issue’s rarity is true, although it is not representative of the real-world availability of this issue. Any Gem example is a major rarity and finer pieces are prohibitively rare.

As compared to our images, in-hand, this Gem is lighter in hue, tends more towards-yllow gold (rather than orange-gold) and is noticeably more lustrous. The NGC population is 11 with 3 graded higher.

Highly Attractive 1907 No Motto Indian Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

The Philadelphia Mint struck off 239,400 Saint-Gaudens Indian Head eagles after the No Periods design had been finalized. Just a few months later in mid-1908 the motto IN GOD WE TRUST would be placed in the left reverse field. This short-lived type remains collectible in high grades but becomes quite scarce-to-rare in MS67 condition. The example herein offered boasts excellent eye-appeal

1909-D Indian Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

One of the Finest Survivors

Ex O’neal. The 1909-D is one of the scarcer issues among early ten-dollar Indians, and is much more challenging than its mintage of 121,540 pieces would seem to indicate. David Akers contends in A Handbook of 20th-Century United States Gold Coins that it is one of the most underrated issues in the series, and is actually one of the rarest in an absolute sense. “Even in MS60 this issue is very rare and in MS63 or MS64 condition, it can be located only with great difficulty,” says Akers. The PCGS population is only 4 with 2 higher.

1929 Indian Half Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

None Graded Higher

Only the Philadelphia Mint coined gold in 1929, and production was focused on the double eagle denomination. The 1929 half eagle is, in terms of total population, the rarest Indian Head five in the series. Several hundred pieces survive, primarily in Mint State, since this issue never circulated. However, the PCGS population report shows only 12 at this grade level with NONE HIGHER. Nor has NGC graded any higher, either. In other words, an MS65 is as good as it gets for this date. This one is lustrous and attractive.
