1928 $2 1/2PCGS Plus

Description

1928 Indian Head $2 1/2 Gold, PCGS MS-64. This 1928 Philadelphia Mint quarter eagle represents a significant example from the final years of the Indian Head $2 1/2 series designed by renowned sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt. Struck from a mintage of 416,000 pieces, this issue is notably scarcer in higher grades than many collectors anticipate. The 1928 is particularly elusive in MS-64 condition, with gems and finer examples considerably more difficult to locate than comparable specimens from 1926 or 1927. The offered example displays the characteristic qualities associated with this date: well-struck with frosty surfaces, excellent luster, and attractive coloration ranging from light to medium gold with subtle greenish tinting. The coin exhibits the technical excellence expected of the grade, with sharp definition across both obverse and reverse designs. As is typical of the issue, some minor striking characteristics may be noted at the borders, consistent with production standards of the era. PCGS Certification Number: 55900878 | Population: 153 total graded; 477 finer. This example occupies an important position within the rarity hierarchy of the series. While lower grade Mint State specimens are obtainable, MS-64 examples command premium consideration, and specimens graded MS-65 or better are genuinely scarce. This represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a quality representative of this sought-after final-year issue in a grade that balances both availability and desirability.
