1927 $2 1/2

Description

1927 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle. This 1927 Quarter Eagle represents a notable example from the final decade of U.S. gold coinage production. The $2.50 denomination, officially known as the Quarter Eagle, features John Reichardt's iconic Liberty Head design on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse—a design that remained largely consistent throughout the series' production. Graded NGC MS-65, this piece exhibits the characteristics expected of a gem-quality specimen. At this grade level, the coin displays attractive luster and minimal surface marks consistent with careful handling and preservation. The 1927 date places this coin within the later years of Quarter Eagle production, prior to the suspension of gold coinage in 1933. As a pre-1933 U.S. gold coin, this Quarter Eagle holds both numismatic and historical significance. The $2.50 denomination has long been popular among collectors seeking affordable entry points into classic U.S. gold coinage. This NGC-certified example offers collectors a well-preserved specimen of America's gold coinage heritage.
