PCGS MS-63 (illustrated above). Ex - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles,
Inc.'s "The California Sale", October 2-3, 2000, Lot 751, sold
for $8,050.00, where
it was described (in part) as follows: "The key date to the Indian
quarter eagle series, this coin will delight the specialist for its choice
surfaces and "strong D" mintmark on the reverse. Many of this date
have the "weak D" mintmark, which is, of course, the important
feature on the rarest date of the series. Satiny luster on both sides, and
well struck on all but the forward-most wing feathers of the eagle, which
show minor weakness. Although many counterfeits exist for this date, they
are easy to tell apart, this one possesses the knife rim feature which is
visible on most high grade originals. For all practical purposes only a
single die pairing was used according the Breen (the second die pairing
struck just 70 coins). Only 55,860 struck, making this the key date to the
series, and one of the few gold date sets of anything most collectors could
ever hope to complete."
