Description

1926 Quarter Eagle, $2.50 Gold Coin, NGC MS-65. This 1926 Quarter Eagle represents a desirable example from the final decade of U.S. circulating gold coinage. The Quarter Eagle, or $2.50 gold piece, was a staple of American commerce and collecting for over a century. The 1926 date falls within a period of relatively consistent mintage at Philadelphia, making examples available to collectors, though premium grades remain sought-after. The coin has been certified by NGC at the MS-65 grade level, indicating an attractive uncirculated specimen with only light surface marks consistent with the grade. At this level, the coin displays excellent eye appeal with well-preserved luster and sharp detail on both obverse and reverse. The 1926 Quarter Eagle exhibits John Mackennel's elegant Liberty design on the obverse and the heraldic eagle reverse that characterized this popular denomination. As a pre-1933 gold coin, this piece carries both numismatic and bullion value, appealing to collectors of classic U.S. gold coinage and those seeking tangible precious metal holdings. The NGC certification (Cert. #8664119004) provides authentication and grade verification for this important collectible.
