Sunken Design, Small Size: The Indian Head Quarter Eagle in VF
The $2.5 Indian Head quarter eagle VF is a small pre-1933 U.S. Mint gold coin holding 0.1209 troy ounce of actual gold in a .900 fine alloy, offered in Very Fine condition with a random date and mint mark. Its design is incused, meaning the portrait, lettering and date are sunk into the surface instead of raised above it.
Bela Lyon Pratt's Incuse Experiment
Bela Lyon Pratt designed the Indian Head quarter eagle, which was struck from 1908 to 1929. The idea for a sunken design came from Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow, a friend of President Theodore Roosevelt who admired the Egyptian reliefs at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. The obverse shows a Native American man in a headdress, with 13 stars, LIBERTY and the date, and the reverse shows an eagle on a bundle of arrows holding an olive branch. The series includes 15 date and mint combinations from Philadelphia and Denver.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does incused mean on the Indian Head quarter eagle?
Incused means the design is pressed into the coin's surface instead of standing out in relief. The Indian Head quarter eagle and the $5 half eagle of the same series are the only two U.S. coins struck in this style.
How do dealers price a VF $2.5 Indian Head quarter eagle?
They start with the value of its 0.1209 ounce of gold at spot and add a premium for the coin's type, age and condition. Premiums vary by dealer and quantity, so compare published prices to see the current spread.
