1927 $2 1/2 Gold Quarter Eagle

This $2.50 gold piece, commonly known as a Quarter Eagle, represents a significant example of early 20th-century American coinage. The 1927 date places this coin in the final years of the Quarter Eagle series, which had been produced intermittently since 1796. Struck in 90% gold with a total weight of 4.18 grams, this piece contains approximately 0.1209 troy ounces of pure gold.

The coin has been certified by NGC as Gem Mint State 65, indicating exceptional preservation with minimal wear and eye appeal befitting the grade. At this level, the piece displays strong luster and well-preserved design details, making it an attractive example for both type collectors and date-specific collectors seeking quality specimens from this era. The certificate number 3316097004 provides full authentication and grading verification.

Quarter Eagles from the 1920s remain popular among collectors, offering an accessible entry point into pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage. The 1927 is a moderate mintage date that appears with reasonable frequency compared to scarcer years in the series, making this NGC 65 example a desirable addition to any gold collection.
