1910 Quarter Eagle: Eye Appeal, Rarity, and Proof Details
The overall level of eye appeal seen on the 1910 Quarter Eagle is below average. While most are well struck, it is very hard to find a piece that is not severely abraded and, which does not have impaired luster.
To qualify for the Condition Census, a 1910 Indian Head Quarter Eagle must grade Mint State-66.
*The mintage figure for Proof 1910 Quarter Eagles is listed as 682 pieces, but this is almost certainly incorrect. Based on the number known to exist, it is much more likely that the original mintage figure was somewhere in the area of 175 to 200. Of these, an estimated 75 to 90 coins exist today. The coloration is similar to that seen on the 1909 proofs with a distinctive yellow-gold appearance and the so-called Roman Gold finish. Proofs are usually seen in the Proof-63 to Proof-64 range and Gem examples are quite rare.
