1926 $2 1/2

Description

1926 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle, NGC MS-65. This $2.50 gold quarter eagle represents a popular date from the final decade of U.S. circulating gold coinage. The 1926 issue was produced in substantial quantities at the Philadelphia Mint, making it readily available to collectors today. Quarter eagles of this era remain highly sought after for their historical significance as the last generation of regularly struck U.S. gold coins before the gold recall of 1933. The present example has been certified by NGC as MS-65, a strong Mint State grade indicating excellent preservation with only light contact marks consistent with careful handling since striking. At this grade level, the coin displays attractive luster and eye appeal that appeals to both type collectors and date specialists. The technical specifications of the quarter eagle—containing 0.2419 troy ounces of gold with a composition of 90% gold and 10% copper—remain consistent across the entire series. NGC Certification Number: 50251916. A desirable example of this classic pre-1933 gold issue, suitable for advancing gold collections or type sets of American coinage.
