1925-D $2 1/2

Description

1925-D $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle, NGC MS-65. This 1925-D Quarter Eagle represents a desirable example from the final decade of United States gold coinage production. The Denver Mint issue of this denomination commands collector interest as a key date in the series, particularly in gem condition. Technical Specifications: The Quarter Eagle, or $2.50 gold piece, contains .2419 troy ounces of pure gold and was struck at the Denver Mint facility. This particular specimen has been certified by NGC and assigned a grade of MS-65, indicating a gem-quality coin with only light, scattered contact marks consistent with careful handling and storage since its release into circulation. Significance and Collector Appeal: Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins represent a distinct era in American numismatic history, with all such pieces having been recalled and melted down following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's executive order in 1933. The survival of any pre-1933 gold coin makes it historically significant, and specimens in gem condition such as this MS-65 example are particularly sought after by advanced collectors and investors. The Denver Mint mark adds to its appeal within the series. Lot Details: - NGC Certification Number: 3314430003. - Starting Bid: $1,425
