Description
# 1927 $2.50 Indian Head Gold Quarter Eagle. A stunning gem quality *Indian Head Quarter Eagle* from the Philadelphia Mint, this 1927 $2.50 gold piece represents a quintessential example of Bela Lyon Pratt's elegant design. Certified PCGS MS-65, this coin showcases the nuanced artistry of early 20th-century American coinage. Struck with exceptional precision, this specimen exhibits the characteristic features of late-era Philadelphia Mint production: superior striking quality and remarkable luminous luster. The coin's color ranges from delicate light rose gold to a rich, nuanced greenish-gold hue, demonstrating the subtle variations that make this issue particularly collectible. With a mintage of 388,000 and only 594 total graded, this example represents a desirable opportunity for the discerning numismatist. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin weighs 4.18 grams and measures 18mm in diameter, featuring Pratt's distinctive incuse design. The PCGS population report indicates only 77 examples have been graded at this or higher levels, underscoring the coin's relative scarcity in gem condition. An exceptional representative of the Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, this coin offers both historical significance and numismatic excellence. PCGS Certification: 57200646. Grade: MS-65.
