Description

1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Gold Coin. A stunning example of pre-Depression era American gold coinage, this 1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle represents the penultimate year of this beloved design type. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this choice Mint State 65 specimen showcases the exceptional artistry of Bela Lyon Pratt's distinctive incuse design. Graded by NGC with certificate #45087906, the coin exhibits remarkable mint luster and exceptional preservation. The *incuse* design, which sets these coins apart from traditional raised relief coins, remains crisp and well-defined, with minimal marks typical of a high-grade example. The golden-orange surfaces display rich, original color and exceptional eye appeal characteristic of the finest preserved specimens from this era. The Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, minted from 1908 to 1929, represents a pinnacle of early 20th-century American numismatic design. This 1928 issue is particularly desirable as one of the later dates in the series, just before the Gold Recall Act of 1933 effectively ended private gold coin ownership. Collectors will appreciate both its historical significance and exceptional state of preservation.
