1913 $2.50 Indian Head Quarter Eagle NGC MS64 (CAC)

      We at AUCM are quite pleased to offer a Great Type Coin for your consideration: a 1913 $2.50 Indian Head graded NGC MS64 (CAC). Gold specialist David Akers writes, "This is [an] unappreciated issue....The 1913 is generally well struck with decidedly above average lustre for the series....As with almost all the Indian Head $2.50 and $5 issues, the surfaces are somewhat granular as a rule. Color is usually a light to medium yellow gold..." This piece can be yours for a relatively inexpensive price, compared to many other issues in the better grade of MS64 (CAC).

      The mint director at the time of the concept and creation of this beautiful coin was Frank Leach, who wrote in his memoir:

Originally it was the intention to give the $5 and $2.50 pieces the same design as that used on the double eagle or $20 piece, but before final action to that end was taken President Roosevelt invited me to lunch with him at the White House. His purpose was to have me meet Doctor William Sturgis Bigelow of Boston, a lover of art and friend of the President, who was showing great interest in the undertaking for improving the appearance of American coins, and who had a new design for the smaller gold coins. It was his idea that the commercial needs of the country required coins that would "stack" evenly, and that the preservation of as much as possible of the flat plane of the piece was desirable. A coin, therefore, with the lines of the design, figures, and letters depressed or incused, instead of being raised or in relief, would meet the wishes of the bankers and businessmen, and at the same time introduce a novelty in coinage that was artistic as well as adaptable to the needs of business.
