[QUOTE="rld14, post: 473106, member: 16133"]OK, A type set it is then :) As far as Quarter Eagle Indians go, it's the 1911-D that is far and away the valuable coin of the series. A typical grade 1911-D is probably worth, by itself, as much as every other date in the series combined. Rough mintage of a typical Indian Quarter Eagle was about 500,000 give or take, the 1911-D was about 50k pieces. That being said, it isn't a rare coin, Heritage alone has handled about 100 of them so far this year and they have 12 up for bid. It is, however, expensive. MS65s seem to bring $60,000+, it's been a while but the last MS66 brought close to $200k and even problem circulated ones are worth $3K+. Meanwhile you can buy a gorgeous Mint State common date Indian Quarter Eagle for $1-2k. I'd think that $3,000 would buy you a VERY nice Certified Mint State 64 or so Indian Quarter Eagle, or an XF 1911-D. So once again... buy a type coin (Common Date) in stellar condition, or buy a 1911-D. Ideally you would buy a 1911-D in a high grade, but how much are we planning on spending? Either way you should be safe. It's the common date cheap coins for $200 that get swayed by the price of gold. If gold went to $200 an ounce an MS65 1911-D would not crash in value.[/QUOTE]
