Description

# 1928 $2 1/2 Indian Head Gold Quarter Eagle. A stunning Gem Uncirculated example of this scarce late-period Indian Head Quarter Eagle, struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1928. This PCGS MS-65 specimen represents a highly collectible issue from the final years of Bela Lyon Pratt's innovative incuse design series. Struck from a 90% gold composition, this quarter eagle displays characteristic frosty mint luster with a nuanced light to medium gold coloration featuring subtle greenish undertones. The coin exhibits exceptional preservation, with only the most minor contact marks preventing a potential MS-66 designation. With a total population of just 433 coins graded, this piece represents a significant opportunity for advanced gold coin collectors. The 1928 issue is notably more challenging to obtain in high grades compared to its immediate predecessors, with gem-quality specimens being particularly scarce. Numismatic research suggests that relatively few examples exist above MS-65, making this PCGS-certified specimen a remarkable find. Struck with generally good detail and featuring Pratt's distinctive incuse design, the coin showcases the refined artistry of early 20th-century American coinage.
