Description

1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2.50 Gold Coin. A stunning example of pre-Depression era American coinage, this 1928 $2.50 gold piece represents the penultimate year of the Indian Head Quarter Eagle series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin showcases the iconic design by renowned sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, featuring a distinctive incuse (recessed) design that was revolutionary for its time. Graded a lustrous NGC MS-65, this specimen exhibits exceptional mint state preservation with rich, original surfaces and sharp, well-defined details. The golden-orange patina typical of early 20th-century gold coinage remains vibrant, highlighting the intricate design elements of the Native American profile and heraldic eagle. The high grade indicates minimal contact marks and superior eye appeal, making this an attractive addition to both type collectors and numismatic gold specialists. The 1928 quarter eagle represents a relatively low mintage year, adding to its collectible significance. With NGC certification #6824002009, this coin comes with the assurance of professional authentication and grading. An exemplary representation of pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage, this piece offers both historical charm and numismatic investment potential.
