1928 Indian Head Quarter Eagle, $2.50 Gold Piece

A well-preserved example of this popular early twentieth-century gold issue, graded NGC MS-65. The Indian Head Quarter Eagle, designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, was produced from 1908 to 1929 and remains highly collectible among pre-1933 gold coin enthusiasts. This 1928-dated specimen represents the final years of production for this iconic series and exhibits the strong strike and luster characteristic of Mint State examples.

The MS-65 designation indicates an attractive coin with only light surface marks consistent with careful handling. The obverse displays Pratt's distinctive incused Native American profile, while the reverse features an eagle perched upon a bundle of arrows—a design that set these coins apart from their contemporaries. With its $2.50 face value and 90% gold composition, this piece contains approximately 0.1209 troy ounces of pure gold, making it a tangible asset for collectors and investors alike.
