1927 $2 1/2

Description

1927 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle, NGC MS-65. This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a classic example of early 20th-century American coinage. Struck in 1927, this piece was produced during the final years of the Quarter Eagle series, which would continue through 1929 before resuming after a hiatus. The coin exhibits the elegant design characteristic of the era, featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse. Graded MS-65 by NGC (Certificate #65711704), this example displays the qualities expected of a choice uncirculated specimen. At this grade level, the coin shows full mint luster with only minor surface marks consistent with careful handling and storage since its release from the mint. The strike is sharp, with excellent detail throughout the design elements, making this an attractive example for both type collectors and those seeking quality examples of pre-1933 gold coinage. Quarter Eagles from the late 1920s remain popular with collectors seeking affordable entry points into U.S. gold coins. The 1927 mintage of 446,000 pieces ensures reasonable availability, though well-preserved uncirculated examples in this grade remain desirable. This piece represents solid value for collectors building a comprehensive gold collection.
