Description

1908 Indian Quarter Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS).

An exceptional Gem showcasing warm honey-gold color with hints of powder-blue iridescence in the devices. Silky smooth in appearance, both sides are exceptionally well preserved for both the type and issue. It would be hard to overstate the desirability of this piece. Saved in significant numbers by the contemporary public as the first quarter eagle to display Bela Lyon Pratt's novel incuse design, the 1908 now ranks among the more readily obtainable Indian quarter eagles in all Mint State grades. Even so Gems such as this are scarce in an absolute sense and rare relative to the demand that they enjoy among today's quality conscious gold enthusiasts.

PCGS# 7939. NGC ID: 288Y.
