    A real nice 1928 $2.50 Gold Indian from my collection. I’m so glad I have the entire set. :)

    Nice coin! I used to have a 1911 but sold it.:(
    What's did it grade?

    Nice Indian Head.

    I have a 1925 D
    I'm not a fan of incused designs (the other being the Indian Head half eagle).

    I know it's just my opinion, but that design looks so much better in relief than incuse.

    It’s raw but in a snap plastic holder. :)

    When I bought my fist one I was happy. Then I looked at them in my Red Book. It’s a short series with a fairly low price point. I realized that this is the only gold series that the majority of collects could afford to buy them all so I started working on that and I completed the set.

    Mine is also a 1925-D, as it happens. But I do like the incused designs on the Pratt Indian heads.

    Nice ones, y'all. I only have one. Here 'tis.

    That is an accomplishment. I have never attempted the whole series. Just had the odd type coin now and then. You could probably count all the $2.50 Indians I have owned in 50 years on the fingers of one hand.
