Distinctive Incuse Engraving:
Unlike any other U.S. circulating gold coin, the Quarter Eagle’s recessed (incuse) design gives it a flat surface and bold, crisp details. This unique style was ahead of its time and is a standout feature among early 20th-century coinage.
Historical Background:
Introduced during Theodore Roosevelt’s coinage renaissance, the $2.50 Indian Head was produced through pivotal decades, including World War I and the lead-up to the Great Depression. Production ended shortly before the U.S. discontinued circulating gold coins in 1933, making these coins increasingly scarce and collectible today.
