1926 $2 1/2

Description

1926 Quarter Eagle, $2.50 Gold Piece. This Quarter Eagle represents one of the classic U.S. gold issues from the final decade before the 1933 gold recall. The 1926 Quarter Eagle was produced at multiple mints and remains a popular date among collectors of early twentieth-century American gold coinage. Graded PCGS MS-65, this example displays the quality and eye appeal expected of a gem-level specimen. At this grade level, the coin exhibits strong luster and well-preserved surfaces with only minor contact marks consistent with careful handling and storage. The strike is typically sharp for the issue, with the design elements of Lady Liberty and the eagle reverse rendered in good detail. The Quarter Eagle series has long been favored by both gold bullion investors and numismatic collectors, offering historical significance along with precious metal content. The 1926 date falls within the era of high demand for U.S. gold coinage before the numismatic market was disrupted by federal gold legislation. PCGS Certificate #54921086
