1908 Indian $2.50 NGC PR67

A first-year Proof of the celebrated Pratt incuse design, this 1908 Indian Head $2.50 Quarter Eagle has been certified by NGC at PR67—an elite, investment-caliber grade that few survivors approach. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the coin exhibits the distinctive 1908 Proof texture (the experimental matte/satin appearance used that year) with exceptional visual harmony: warm honey- to orange-gold surfaces with subtle olive-gold accents that enhance the recessed devices and razor-sharp detail. The result is remarkable eye appeal and a museum-quality presence coveted by advanced collectors and an ideal centerpiece for any high-end U.S. gold collection.
