Condition Census Gem 1914-D Indian Quarter Eagle to be Featured in our January 2017 Collectors Choice Auction

Offered
as part of our January 2017 Collectors Choice Online Auction is a gorgeous Gem
1914-D Indian quarter eagle that ranks among the finest survivors of this desirable
issue. The 1914-D is the second of just three years that Indian quarter eagles were
struck at the Denver Mint and it is largely overshadowed by the low-mintage
1911-D. While of unremarkable scarcity in circulated and lower Mint State
grades, the 1914-D is unquestionably rare in Gem condition. Even Uncirculated
pieces are often poorly struck and marred by heavy marks with eye appeal that
is generally below average.  However, perhaps
80 or so exist in grades of MS-65 and above, with just a single example known in
Superb Gem preservation. The present piece is tied for finest certified by
PCGS.


Each
side of this gorgeous jewel glistens with bright and silken luster. Ivory-gold surfaces
reveal soft splashes of powder blue and pale pink hues under a light source.
Sharp peripheral elements transcend the soft strike that is typically
encountered. The surfaces are nice under a glass and deliver a truly
superlative aesthetic overall.

This
Condition Census quarter eagle will be offered in our January 2017 Collectors
Choice Online Auction as part of the Campbell-Roberts Collection, a group that
includes nearly 50 of the most popular and desirable gold issues from the early
20th century.  The auction will be
available in its entirety for lot viewing at the FUN show in Ft. Lauderdale on
January 5-8, 2017, so be sure to stop by our table to take a look.  To consign your collection to a future auction
event, please contact our offices today at 1-800-458-4646 to speak with a
Consignment Director and see what Stack’s Bowers Galleries can do for you.
