I have decided to venture in the world of gold since I pretty much have my CBQ set where I want it for now. I like the indian head quarter eagles because for the most part they are affordable (minus the 11D) and there are not many of them (only 15). I am now over half way there with 8. I have decided to go ahead and pursue the rest because I will have to save for a while when it comes to the 11D. Also, the OCD in me has to come out and I am making sure all of my quarter eagles are problem free, AU50 or above, and graded by NGC. I really like the gold on white. As of now, I am averaging about $310 a piece and the grades of the 8 I own range between AU50-MS62.
Does anyone else have a set of these or working towards a set? What is your criteria when buying?

I also prefer NGC graded gold. I've kept to MS 63, as the jump to 64 is often substantial, although I have added two 64's of two common later dates.
I don't know what ill do for the Monster, though. That might be a tough one to get in 63.
I always keep about 50-60 coins on my want list so I can move up and down the price scale depending on circumstances.

I completed an AU - Unc. set of those in 1989.

Very affordable as a TPG mixed 62/63 grade set with only the '11-D in a low AU/EF holder. Have done it myself. Edited by Coinfrog

I'm a YN. I don't have money for gold!  |

Another question...Why did the 11-D have such a low mintage compared to the others in this series?

I looked and couldn't find the answer why the mintage was so low. Very interesting.

This was the first year that the fledgling Denver mint was directed to produce the new Lincoln Cent, which apparently held priority over the quarter eagle. |

I have 3 coins left for my 63-64 set. I got the 11-D in AU-58 and it matches the others well   |

This will sound strange. I just checked and it seems that I have 8 of them, but it is not a series that I am collecting. Maybe I should. However, upon further checking, 5 of the 8 are in a bracelet......

I started and completed the series within a year, having sold all but one as of early last month. The only one I retained was this nice MS-63 CAC 1914-D and a dupe 1915 in MS-61/CAC. The collection ranged from AU-55/CAC (1911-D) to MS-64/CAC. Finding nice ones is quite possible, with a little patience...  ET |
