The 1913 Indian Head Quarter Eagle had a mintage of 722,000 pieces struck at the Philadelphia Mint, along with 416,000 from the Denver Mint, and 240,000 from the San Francisco Mint. While these mintages were substantial for the era, relatively few examples survived in pristine condition due to heavy circulation and the melting of gold coins following the Gold Reserve Act of 1934. Today, 1913 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The year 1913 was transformative for the United States, marked by several pivotal developments. Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated as the 28th President in March, ushering in the Progressive Era’s peak. That same year saw the ratification of both the Sixteenth Amendment, establishing the federal income tax, and the Seventeenth Amendment, providing for direct election of U.S. Senators. The Federal Reserve Act was signed into law in December, creating the nation’s central banking system.
All 1913 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle Coins offered here arrive in About Uncirculated 58+ condition. AU58 coins are the highest-graded AU coins, with only trace signs of friction on the highest relief points and medium or near-full luster. An AU58+ specimen stands out as being one of the finest examples of an AU58 coin.
On the obverse of the 1913 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle, you’ll find a left-facing portrait of a Native American wearing a feathered headdress, with the word “LIBERTY” above and the date below, all surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The Indian Head Quarter Eagle, designed by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, featured a revolutionary incused design where the imagery on both sides was recessed into the coin’s surface rather than raised.
The reverse of the 1913 $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle Coin depicts a standing eagle with wings folded, a sheaf of arrows. This unique sunken relief design was controversial when introduced, but has since become one of the most distinctive features of early American gold coinage.
