1926 $2 1/2

Description

1926 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle. This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a significant entry point for collectors seeking early 20th-century American gold coinage. The 1926 date falls within the final decade of regular circulation for this denomination before the gold recall of 1933, making it a historically important piece of United States monetary history. Graded NGC MS-64, this example displays the attractive luster and eye appeal characteristic of well-preserved specimens from this era. The MS-64 designation indicates a coin with original mint bloom and only light surface marks consistent with careful handling since its release from the mint. This grade level represents a solid choice for collectors seeking quality without the premium associated with higher grades. The Quarter Eagle series, with its consistent design and relatively modest mintages compared to larger denominations, continues to attract both type collectors and specialists. The 1926 issue remains readily available in circulated grades but becomes increasingly scarce in Mint State preservation, making this NGC-certified example a desirable acquisition for those building comprehensive pre-1933 gold collections.
