1911-D Indian Quarter Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).；A lovely patina of yellow and olive-gold tones saturates the facade of this handsome Choice Mint State rarity. Rich satiny luster remains visible throughout, most heavily concentrating in the intricacies of Bela Lyon Pratts sunken-relief design. Traces of handling are negligible and are confined to just the most prominent regions, failing to draw the eye even under a glass. An overall satisfying example of this treasured issue.<p>At 55,680 pieces struck, the 1911-D is the lowest mintage Indian quarter eagle and the only one with a mintage of fewer than 100,000 pieces. The next lowest mintage issue in this series is the 1914, which has a much higher production figure of 240,000 pieces. With so few coins struck, it should come as no surprise that the 1911-D is the rarest Indian quarter eagle in terms of total number of Mint State examples known. Eagerly sought in all grades, the 1911-D is in great demand among advanced collectors in attractive Choice and Gem Mint State quality. This is just such a coin, and it would serve as a highlight in any gold cabinet.
