Description
Part of the Indian Head Quarter Eagles 1908-1929 series, the 1915 Indian Head Quarter Eagle is a Gold Quarter Eagle from the Philadelphia Mint. The Philadelphia Mint struck 606,000 quarter eagles dated 1915. The obverse features a Native American chief wearing a feathered headdress, designed in incuse (sunken) relief — a revolutionary departure from traditional raised relief coinage and the reverse displays a standing eagle on a bundle of arrows with an olive branch. Philadelphia-only production. Quarter eagles continued as the smallest active gold denomination. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 4.18 grams, 18 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7948.
