1915 $2.50 Gold MS Values
Details
Since the first issue in 1908, this 1915 is of the far most common dates in the Indian Quarter Eagle series. This date makes a very proper type coin considering the amount available in mint state grades and the coloring, luster and strike are all quite sufficient. Like any other issue of this series high grade gems seem to be few and far between.
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.
