1905 $2 1/2

Description

1905 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle. This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a significant piece of American numismatic history from the early 20th century. The Quarter Eagle denomination was one of the standard gold coins produced by the United States Mint and remained in circulation until the gold recall of 1933. The 1905 date falls within the Liberty Head design period, which was struck at various U.S. Mint facilities. This particular example has been certified by NGC as Mint State 65, indicating an attractive piece with light wear consistent with the grade. The MS-65 designation suggests excellent eye appeal with well-preserved striking details and lustering, making it an appealing example for both type collectors and date specialists. Quarter Eagles of this era continue to attract collector interest due to their historical significance, reasonable size, and the artistic quality of the design. The 1905 issue represents solid mid-range production for the denomination and remains accessible to collectors seeking quality examples of pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage. NGC Certification #8663695004
