The specifications of the 1911 Indian Quarter Eagle are really no different from the preceding 1910 including the slight scarcity. Similar to the other early years from this series only the finest and most stunning examples are rare and garner great searching and premiums paid. What makes the 1911 unique are the specifics of its looks as it shares the grainy surfaces of the 1910 but lacks in luster and displays odd, dull coloring. There is nothing notable about the strike of this issue so any crisp, sharp examples are a hot commodity.
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.
