History of the 1925-D Indian Head Quarter Eagle

The 1925-D Indian Head Quarter Eagle is a coin that requires careful searching. The luster is usually excellent for these coins, but the strike quality varies greatly. It’s possible to find beautifully struck coins, but some show an uneven strike. The dies used are believed to be the cause of a poor strike, as some buckled and were deteriorated. It was a common issue for these coins that were struck at the Denver Mint to have poorly struck coins. But they are redeemed somewhat due to the excellent luster and attractive coloring of many of the coins.
