The 1912 Indian Quarter Eagle is a better date and relative to the series it is sometimes considered a semi-key. No different from the rest of the series, the 1912 is quite common in low to mid mint state grades although the finest gems of this issue are a special find. In the MS60-MS64 range it is a perfect type coin and beyond that it is scarce gem that is highly desired by enthusiasts of the series. Look for uncirculated pieces with yellow-gold color and sufficient luster and striking. If you find that then you have something very impressive. Those are hard to locate but do exist.
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.
