<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1869090, member: 5233&quot;]One of my all time favorite coin designs is the Indian Head Quarter and Half Eagle designs.&nbsp; I think it is a really interesting design due to the incused design.&nbsp; I also feel the design just has a special beauty too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to look into picking one up in the not to distant future.&nbsp; I&#039;d prefer a half eagle, but may settle for a quarter eagle if finances become an issue.&nbsp; Trouble is, outside of liking the design I know very little about the coin.&nbsp; Because the design is somewhat &quot;backwards&quot; I know they can be quite difficult to grade. I&#039;d love to learn about the coin prior to looking for one.&nbsp; Can someone give me some insight in the fine touches of grading these coins...such as where to look for light signs of wear?&nbsp; I assume that strike quality wasn&#039;t an issue because the gold is soft...but with in the unique incuse design, perhaps it posed some challenges.&nbsp; Do these coins have strike concern?&nbsp; For me, one of the critical things I look for is strike quality with my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ultimately, I will probably look to buy a PCGS or NGC graded example.&nbsp; I prefer my &quot;nicer&quot; coins graded.&nbsp; Just a personal preference.&nbsp; That said, I still want to properly educate myself on this coin before buying one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
