The 1929 is the final year of issue and greatly differs from the rest of the later date Indian Quarter Eagles. It is a true condition rarity compared to its series counterparts in gem grades. To add to this high grade scarcity is very satisfying luster, strike and color. Therefore if you come across any gorgeous high grade gems you will have to pay dearly but you will end up with a very special coin.

Obverse Description

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 Description

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.
