The $2.5 Gold Indian Head Quarter Eagle is one of the most distinctive and historically important U.S. gold coins of the early 20th century. Struck by the U.S. Mint between 1908 and 1929, each coin is composed of .900 fine gold (0.1209 troy oz) and is certified by NGC in Mint State 64, a high grade that showcases its strong strike, original luster, and sharp detail.
Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, the Indian Head Quarter Eagle broke with traditional U.S. coinage styles by introducing an incuse design, meaning the details are sunken into the surface of the coin rather than raised. This innovative technique gave the coin a bold, flat relief that was both modern and practical, though controversial at the time of release. Today, it is celebrated as one of the most iconic American coin designs.
Obverse: Features the profile of a Native American chief in full headdress, surrounded by 13 stars with “LIBERTY” above and the date below.
Reverse: Depicts a proud eagle perched on arrows and an olive branch, with inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” along with its face value of “2 1/2 DOLLARS.”
