Description

1927 $2 1/2 Gold Coin. This Quarter Eagle represents a classic example of early 20th-century American gold coinage. The $2.50 denomination, formally known as the Quarter Eagle, was minted in limited quantities during the 1920s as gold coin production declined in the United States. The 1927 issue remains a popular date among collectors of pre-1933 gold coins. Technical Specifications. The coin is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, with a total weight of 4.18 grams and a diameter of 18 millimeters. This particular example has been certified and graded by NGC as MS-65, indicating a coin with excellent eye appeal and minimal wear. The gem quality grade reflects well-preserved surfaces with attractive luster, making this piece particularly desirable to collectors seeking high-grade examples of this denomination. Collector Appeal. Pre-1933 gold coins hold special significance for American numismatists, as these pieces represent the final era of circulating U.S. gold currency before the gold recall. The 1927 Quarter Eagle combines historical importance with the appeal of a scarcer date, making it an excellent addition to any collection of early American gold coinage. NGC Certification #3316097004
