Lot 0407 1909 $2.50 Indian PCGS Proof 65
As the second year Indian Quarter Eagle in U.S. coinage history, the 1909 enjoys unflagging demand among both type collectors and 20th century gold specialists in true Gem condition. Although this issue is a relatively plentiful Indian Two-and-a-Half in MS-61, 62, and 63, after that such coins are rare in an absolute sense and so infrequently offered in today's market you could grow old waiting around for another to appear. Striking perfection is what buyers look for, and is pleasingly sharp for the issue with none of the usual softness of detail on the Indian's headdress lower feathers. The color is a warm orange-gold hue, and very frosty luster is also seen from top to bottom. With no discernible distractions and a universe of eye appeal, this coin would fit comfortably into any high-end collection. A lovely Roman finish.
