Description
1905 $2 1/2 Gold Coin. This Quarter Eagle represents a classic example from the early 20th century American gold coinage era. The $2.50 denomination, officially known as the Quarter Eagle, was a staple of United States commerce during this period, struck in 90% gold with a net gold content of 0.1209 troy ounces. The 1905 date falls within the reign of the Liberty Head design by Christian Gobrecht, which graced Quarter Eagles from 1840 through 1907. This particular specimen has been certified by NGC as a Gem Mint State 65, indicating exceptional preservation with only light surface marks consistent with the grade. The lustrous surfaces and well-struck details typical of coins from this era of the Philadelphia Mint are evident. Pre-1933 gold coins remain highly sought after by collectors and investors alike, both for their historical significance and intrinsic precious metal value. The MS-65 grade places this example well above average circulated pieces, making it an attractive addition to any gold coin collection. NGC Certification #8663695004
