The 1910 Indian Quarter Eagle is similar to the 1909 in appearance and rarity but if anything it can be viewed as slightly better. Gems are even more scarce but still maintain an impressive strike and overall eye appeal competitive with any issue in its series. This is certainly a better date even though it is priced as a type coin making the finest known MS66 level gems a fantastic buy. Some unique points about this date are the slight rough, grainy look its fields present along with very small amounts of buckling.
