1905 $2 1/2

Description

1905 $2 1/2 Gold Coin. This Quarter Eagle represents one of the classic denominations of early 20th-century American coinage. The $2.50 gold piece was a popular circulating denomination during this period, struck in 90% gold and 10% copper, with a total weight of 4.18 grams and a diameter of 18 millimeters. The piece offered here has been certified by NGC and graded MS-65, indicating a specimen with exceptional eye appeal and only light evidence of handling. At this grade level, the coin displays attractive surfaces with strong luster and well-preserved detail throughout. The 1905 date falls within the later years of the Liberty Head design by Bela Lyon Pratt, which was minted from 1908-1929, or the earlier Indian Head design depending on the specific type. This well-preserved example represents a desirable piece for collectors seeking quality specimens of early American gold coinage. The NGC certification (Certificate #8663695004) provides authentication and grading assurance for this important pre-1933 gold issue.
