Description

1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Gold Coin. A stunning gem-quality example of the classic Indian Head quarter eagle from the final decade of pre-Depression era gold coinage. This 1928 $2 1/2 gold piece represents a beautiful specimen of the Saint-Gaudens design by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Certified by NGC at a choice MS-65 grade, this coin exhibits exceptional mint state preservation with lustrous surfaces and sharp, well-defined design elements characteristic of the highest quality strikes from this period. The 65-grade designation indicates near-pristine condition with only the most minor and non-consequential contact marks, making it a prized addition to any advanced gold coin collection. The Indian Head quarter eagle series, produced from 1908 to 1929, represents one of the most artistically significant gold coin designs in American numismatic history. This particular 1928 issue comes from the penultimate year of production before the series was discontinued, adding historical significance to its already considerable numismatic appeal. The coin's NGC certification with #45087906 ensures its authenticity and condition, making it an excellent investment and collectible for serious numismatists. Specifications: - Mint: Philadelphia. - Metal: 90% Gold. - Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens. - Grade: NGC MS-65. - Year: 1928
