Description
# 1927 $2.50 Indian Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coin. PCGS MS-65. A stunning example of the Bela Lyon Pratt Indian Head Quarter Eagle series, this 1927 *$2.50 gold piece* from the Philadelphia Mint represents a pristine specimen of pre-1933 American coinage. Struck with exceptional precision, the coin showcases the distinctive incuse design characteristic of Pratt's innovative numismatic artistry. Graded PCGS MS-65, this piece exhibits remarkable preservation, with luminous rose-gold to greenish-gold coloration and exceptional mint luster. From a mintage of 388,000, only a limited number have survived in such remarkable condition, with population data indicating just 77 coins graded at this level or higher out of 592 total submissions. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin weighs 4.18g and features a reeded edge typical of the series. The coin represents a pinnacle of the late Philadelphia Mint Indian Head Quarter Eagle issues, noted for its superior strike quality and attractive metallic presentation. Collectors will appreciate its outstanding eye appeal, technical quality, and historical significance as a prime example of early 20th-century American gold coinage. PCGS Certification: 57200646.
