1910 $2.50 Gold MS Values
Details
The 1910 Indian Quarter Eagle is similar to the 1909 in appearance and rarity but if anything it can be viewed as slightly better. Gems are even more scarce but still maintain an impressive strike and overall eye appeal competitive with any issue in its series. This is certainly a better date even though it is priced as a type coin making the finest known MS66 level gems a fantastic buy. Some unique points about this date are the slight rough, grainy look its fields present along with very small amounts of buckling.
Obverse: The obverse features the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse: The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 2 1/2 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
