1914. PCGS graded MS-65. Housed in an OGH. Nice even gold toning. In Mint State, the 1914 is typically available with a sharp strike. The present example does indeed please in this regard, with all devices nicely delineated from a clear powerful impression. The color is lovely orange-gold in shade and is free of individually identifiable distractions. Housed in an early green-insert PCGS holder. The 1914 ranks second or third in rarity after the 11-D among the 15 Indian Quarter Eagle deliveries both in an absolute sense and is virtually tied with the 1914-D at the MS65 grade level. It is an important issue that can be a real stumbling block to assembling a high-quality Registry Set. Pop 48; 3 finer, 2 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7946) . And for a bit of trivia: If one were to take a Time Machine back to 1914 when this Quarter Eagle made its appearance, and to wander through the local department and grocery stores, these are the prices he would find: womens skirt, $5 each; mens shirts, Madras-silk, $1 to $3.50 each; boys suit, Norfolk style, $1.90 each; beef roast, 15¢ to 22¢ a pound; eggs, 22¢ a dozen; Pillsburys Best flour, 72¢ for a 24.5lb bag (!); bicycle, $15.00; movies, 15¢ to 25¢ a ticket; Persian rug, $5.75 to $22.00 each. Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000. Categories: $2.50 Gold
