1911 $2.5 MS65+ PCGS CAC

The 1911 Indian Head Quarter Eagle is a key issue within the series, known for granular texture, reduced luster, and greenish-orange gold coloration compared to earlier years. While many examples exhibit subdued surfaces, this spectacular GEM specimen stands out among the finest graded, displaying satiny brilliance on both obverse and reverse with attractive orange-gold patina. The fields are exceptionally smooth and free from marks compared to some other examples that have come up. This elite-level specimen ranks among the highest-graded known, with PCGS reporting just 24 examples at this level and only four finer, while CAC certification confirms just one superior piece - a virtually unobtainable piece. Market trends further underscore its desirability, with the last sale 2 years ago for a MS65+ PCGS CAC at $14,688 05/23 LE. The market since then has grown in demand as seen by the PCGS Price Guide of $18,500 today. An elite date within the series and grade with abundant luster, commanding strong demand from advanced collectors. We can see this listed for more.
