1927 $2 1/2

Description

1927 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle. This 1927 Quarter Eagle represents a desirable example from the final decade of U.S. gold coinage before the suspension of domestic gold circulation. The $2.50 denomination, officially known as the Quarter Eagle, was a staple of American commerce and remained in production through 1929 before being halted during the Great Depression and subsequent gold recall. Graded NGC MS-65, this specimen exhibits the sharp striking and lustrous surfaces characteristic of choice Mint State examples. The technical specifications include a composition of 90% gold and 10% copper, with a weight of 4.18 grams and a diameter of 18 millimeters. The 1927 date falls within a period of consistent mintage, making this a readily available date in the series, though high-grade examples remain popular with both type collectors and those seeking complete date runs of Quarter Eagles. The MS-65 grade indicates well-preserved surfaces with only light contact marks consistent with the grade, making this an attractive example for collectors seeking quality pre-1933 gold coinage. NGC Certificate #3316097004.
