1905 $2 1/2

Description

1905 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle, NGC MS-65. This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a classic example of early 20th-century American coinage. Struck at the U.S. Mint in 1905, this piece features the iconic Liberty Head design that graced the quarter eagle series throughout much of its production run. The denomination played an important role in American commerce during the pre-1933 gold standard era. Certified by NGC as MS-65, this coin exhibits the characteristics expected of a Gem Mint State example. At this grade level, the piece displays attractive luster and minimal imperfections consistent with careful handling and preservation over more than a century. The technical merit and eye appeal of MS-65 specimens make them particularly desirable to both type collectors and those pursuing higher-grade examples of the series. Quarter Eagles remain popular among collectors of pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage, valued for their historical significance, relatively modest size, and the artistry of their designs. This 1905 issue represents a readily collectible date within the Liberty Head quarter eagle series, making it an accessible entry point for those building gold type sets or date collections.
