Notes:
The 1910 Indian Head Quarter Eagle
features the unusual incuse design created in 1908 by Bela Lyon Pratt for
use on the $2.50 and $5.00 gold coins.
For the first time in American numismatics, the main features and
legends of the coin were impressed into the surface instead of being raised
above it. When this design first appeared, critics feared that germs
and dirt would accumulate in the many crevices of the coin -- a fear that
never materialized.
Only 492,000 Quarter Eagles
were struck in 1910 (plus 682 Proofs), making it somewhat scarce yet still
affordable.
The finest Uncirculated examples graded by PCGS are 6 MS-66's.
The finest Proof examples graded by PCGS are 6 PR-66's.
