The 1913 Indian Quarter Eagle is a better date in this series yet very underrated and lesser known than the 1912 which is so similar in rarity. It only bolsters the rarity designation in the slightest in gem grades. The finest gems that truly standout from the rest are beyond difficult to locate. This coin like the rest of the series has grainy, rough fields but is unique in that it has both incredible luster and a crisp strike.

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.
