The $2.50 Indian Head Gold Coin Mint Collection
A complete mint mark set of America’s last circulating $2.50 gold coins…
• This incredible set includes one $2.50 Indian Head gold coin from the Philadelphia Mint and one from the Denver Mint — which made the “Quarter Eagle” only in 1911, 1914 and 1925, accounting for less than 15 percent of the total mintage.
• The Philadelphia Mint struck the coin from 1908 to 1915, and again from 1926 to 1929.
• Struck in 90% pure gold and created by famed sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, the coin was inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt’s mission to reinvigorate American coinage.
• First minted in 1908, it was last made in 1929. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt recalled all gold coins in circulation, making the $2.50 Indian Head illegal to own, until decades later when the ban was lifted.
• Unlike standard coins with designs that rise above the surface, the “Quarter Eagle” is a rare example of a coin that is fully incuse — with all designs sunken below the surface.
• Presented in gently circulated condition with all major design details visible.
• FREE: A Display Chest and Collector’s Guide, included at no extra charge, sent with the first shipment.
• Guarantee of Satisfaction: Free returns and you may cancel at any time.
