A beautiful 1911-D Gold Quarter Eagle “Indian Head”


The 1911-D is designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, in the circulation strike mintage of 55,680 pieces and this measure into 18 millimeters in diameter and weight of 64.5 grains or 4.18 grams. This is also made of metal which is containing 90 percent of gold and 10 percent of copper. The letter D is stands for Denver where it was minted and located on the left of the arrowheads on the reverse. This series is graded in EF-40 with extremely fine. In the obverse of the grade coin the light wear characterize the portrait and head dress. The luster is gone and marks and tiny scratches are to be expected but not distracting. In the reverse of this grade the light wear is most evident on the eagle’s head and wing although the other areas are lightly worn as well. The luster is also gone and marks and tiny scratches are to be expected but not distracting.
