This issue from Denver is the third scarcest date of this relatively short Indian Quarter Eagle series. Like most issues in this series, the 1914-D is only rare in gem grades. Lower mint state coins are plentiful but those finer gems are much more difficult to come by. Nicer color, less graininess and stronger luster than average but the striking for this date is quite weak. Weak rims and a not so bold mintmark make the overall look of this issue below average amongst the series.
