1927 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle MS-62 NGC

---

The 1927 gold quarter eagle represents a fascinating departure from traditional coin design. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint without a mint mark, this United States coin features a distinctive incuse design, meaning the details are pressed into the metal rather than raised above the surface. This unusual technique gives the coin a flat, protected profile that has helped preserve its features over the decades. On the obverse, the word LIBERTY is paired with the date 1927, framing the profile of a Native American chief in a feathered headdress. The coin is composed of 90 percent gold, containing 0.1209 troy ounces of the precious metal. With a total mintage of 388,000 pieces, this specific specimen has been officially graded and certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62) condition, showcasing the enduring details of this innovative twentieth-century design.
