The 1913 Indian Head Quarter Eagle was struck at three US Mint locations, with Philadelphia producing 722,000 coins, Denver striking 416,000, and San Francisco minting 240,000 examples. While production numbers were solid for the era, many coins were later lost to circulation wear and gold melting programs in the 1930s. Because of this, certified examples in higher condition are less common today. BGASC currently offers 1913 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle Coins to collectors.

History

The year 1913 brought sweeping changes across the United States. Woodrow Wilson became President, marking a period of reform and modernization. That year also saw the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, allowing income taxes, and the Seventeenth Amendment, which enabled voters to directly elect Senators. The Federal Reserve Act followed, establishing a central banking system.
