1915 Indian Head Gold Coin

The 1915 Indian Head Gold Coin has a total mintage of 606,000 coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The 1915 is one of the most common coins in the earlier part of the series besides the 1908 Indian Head Gold Coin. It’s relatively easy to find these coins in MS 63 or less, and then it becomes more difficult to find in MS64, and rare above those grades. Several beautiful gems have been documented in Mint State 65 and higher, and those coins will typically command a premium if located. 

 

History of the 1915 Indian Head Gold Coin

The 1915 Indian Head Gold Coin is a beautiful coin that is worth finding. It is usually well struck with above average luster, although cherrypicking is advised as there are subdued versions out there as well. The earlier versions of the Indian Head Gold Coins typically had a granular texture to the surface, but the 1915 $2.5 Indian Head Quarter Eagle seems to be less noticeable than the others. This coin designed by Bela Lyon Pratt can be found in light to medium gold and sometimes with coppery highlights.
