Description

1928 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle. This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a popular denomination from the final years of U.S. gold coinage production. The 1928 date falls within the later period of Quarter Eagle mintage, struck during a time of significant economic transition in American history. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this coin contains approximately 0.1209 troy ounces of pure gold, making it a desirable holding for both numismatists and precious metals investors. Graded NGC 64, this example exhibits the characteristics expected of a Choice Uncirculated specimen. At this grade level, the coin displays attractive surfaces with minimal wear, retaining strong design definition and luster. The obverse features Lady Liberty in profile, while the reverse showcases a perched eagle—iconic designs that have made the Quarter Eagle series enduring favorites among collectors. Pre-1933 gold coins hold special significance in American numismatic history, as these pieces were removed from circulation following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102. The 1928 Quarter Eagle remains a sought-after date within the series, appealing to collectors building complete runs or those interested in early 20th-century American coinage. This NGC-certified example offers both numismatic merit and intrinsic gold value.
