<B>1911-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> The key date 1911-D boasts not only the lowest mintage of the Indian Head quarter eagle series (55,680 pieces), but few examples were saved at the time of issue. Paul Green, in a September 17, 1996 <I>Numismatic News </B></I>article entitled "Don't Overlook Indian Head Quarter Eagles," writes of this issue: "It has not become any more common over the years. It always has, and always will be the key date in the Indian Head quarter eagle set. Its prices routinely run four or five times higher than the prices of common dates. None question that it is the key date to the set and worth the price."<BR> This MS62 specimen displays bright lustrous surfaces that possess a peach-gold hue and sharply struck design elements, including most of the bonnet feathers and the eagle's plumage. The mintmark is complete and strong, giving this coin added appeal. A few light handling marks, especially on the raised, exposed fields, limit the grade.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Bela Lyon Pratt<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
