billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 03/21/2016 6:12 pm Here is an example of the first year of issue for the revolutioary $2.50 Indian design. All of the design elements were below the fields of the design. That was supposed to make the coin last longer. So how would you grade this one? Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 03/22/2016 10:12 am Yes, it is an MS-64. My photography does not do this coin justice. It has great eye appeal. If I could put together the whole set of $2.50 Indians that looked like this in Mint State, I would do it. I do have a raw set in a Capital Plastics holder than I put together back in the 1980s. By the way for the 1908 $2.50 gold, you can't go by the wing feathers on the eagle's shoulder. They were flat struck on every example of this date that I have seen. A dealer more than 25 years ago told me he had seen a fully struck example, but I've never seen one. The mint corrected that weakness the following year. Report this Post to the Staff
