The 1913 Indian Quarter Eagle is a better date in this series yet very underrated and lesser known than the 1912 which is so similar in rarity. It only bolsters the rarity designation in the slightest in gem grades. The finest gems that truly standout from the rest are beyond difficult to locate. This coin like the rest of the series has grainy, rough fields but is unique in that it has both incredible luster and a crisp strike.
