Description
1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Gold Coin. A stunning example of the Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, this 1928-dated gold coin represents the penultimate year of production for this iconic design. Struck at the United States Mint, this piece showcases the remarkable artistry of Bela Lyon Pratt's distinctive incuse design, which features a Native American profile and eagle in recessed relief. Graded a premium NGC MS-65, this specimen exhibits exceptional preservation with lustrous surfaces and sharp, well-defined details. The golden-orange patina characteristic of early 20th-century gold coinage remains remarkably intact, highlighting the coin's outstanding eye appeal and original mint luster. The NGC certification #45087906 guarantees the coin's authenticity and quality, making it a prized addition to any serious numismatic collection. The 1928 quarter eagle represents a significant year in pre-1933 gold coinage, with relatively limited mintage. These coins were produced during the final decade of circulating gold currency in the United States, prior to the Gold Recall Act of 1933. Collectors and investors appreciate these coins not only for their historical significance but also as tangible artifacts of American monetary history.
