Description

1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Gold Coin. An exceptional Pre-1933 U.S. Gold Coin from the iconic Indian Head quarter eagle series, struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1928. This NGC MS-65 specimen represents a pristine example of early 20th-century American gold coinage, featuring the distinctive incuse design by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The coin exhibits remarkable mint state preservation, with lustrous surfaces and sharp, well-defined details characteristic of the highest quality strikes from this era. Its MS-65 grade indicates exceptional eye appeal and minimal marks, placing it among the finest surviving examples of this vintage gold issue. The NGC certification ensures the coin's authenticity and condition, making it a prized addition to any sophisticated numismatic collection. Struck during the final decade of circulating gold coinage in the United States, this 1928 quarter eagle represents a critical moment in American monetary history. The Indian Head design, with its revolutionary incuse (recessed) motif, stands as one of the most innovative and artistic coin designs ever produced by the U.S. Mint. Collectors and investors will appreciate both its numismatic significance and its intrinsic gold content.
