Aside from the infamous key date 1911-D's, the 1914 is the next rarest date in the Indian Quarter Eagle series. The 1914 is very hard to locate as a high quality ultra-gem coin making it arguably rarer than the 1911-D's in that nice of condition. The gold for this issue has a green-like tint which is not overly attractive but the extreme luster and solid strike makes up for it. The 1914 is the perfect collector coin if you are looking for something more under the radar but still an item with very special scarcity.
