1927 $2 1/2

Description

1927 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle. This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a classic example of American gold coinage from the final years before the gold recall of 1933. The 1927 date places this coin within the later mintage period of this denomination, which was produced intermittently throughout the 20th century. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this piece contains approximately 0.1209 troy ounces of pure gold. Graded NGC 65, this coin exhibits the characteristics of a well-preserved example with attractive surfaces and strong eye appeal. The gem-quality designation indicates excellent preservation with only light wear consistent with careful handling and storage. The obverse features Lady Liberty in profile, while the reverse displays an eagle in flight—the iconic designs that define this series. NGC Certificate #3221933002 provides authentication and detailed grading information. The 1927 Quarter Eagle remains a popular selection for collectors building gold type sets or assembling complete date runs of the series. Coins in this grade represent the upper tier of preservation for the date and are increasingly sought after as collector interest in pre-1933 gold continues to strengthen.
