Description

1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Gold Coin. A stunning example of early 20th-century American gold coinage, this 1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle represents the penultimate year of production for this iconic design. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this NGC MS-65 specimen showcases the exceptional artistry of Bela Lyon Pratt's distinctive incuse design, which features a Native American profile recessed into the golden surface. The coin exhibits remarkable mint state preservation, with lustrous surfaces that display minimal marks and exceptional eye appeal characteristic of the high mint state grade. The NGC certification (No. 45087906) ensures the coin's authenticity and condition, making it an attractive addition to both specialized gold coin collections and broader numismatic portfolios. The 1928 issue is particularly noteworthy as part of the final decade of pre-Depression era gold coin production before the 1933 Gold Recall. Composed of 90% gold with a total weight of 4.18 grams, this quarter eagle represents a quintessential piece of American monetary history. Its MS-65 grade indicates superior preservation, with only the most minor of contact marks preventing a higher classification. Collectors will appreciate the coin's exceptional state of preservation and its historical significance during a pivotal moment in U.S. economic and numismatic history.
