1915 Indian Head Eagle: Strong Eye Appeal, Scarce Gems & Final-Year Proofs
The 1915 Indian Head Eagle is generally seen with excellent eye appeal. Most are well struck and nicely toned with good luster. It can be hard to find a piece which is not heavily abraded.
There were 75 Proofs minted in 1915 with the same coarse finish that was seen on the 1914 examples. This represents the last year that Proofs were minted. An estimated two dozen or so Proofs are known to exist and most are in the PR64 to PR66 range.
The 1915 Indian Head Eagle is a relatively common date which is well-known for its good eye appeal. It is easy to find in grades up to and including MS64 but Gems are not readily available and probably no more than four or five dozen pieces are known. In MS66 and higher grades, the 1915 is rare. The finest graded by PCGS is an MS67; NGC shows four in this grade with none better as of March 2010.
