1928 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle MS-64 NGC CAC

---

The 1928 gold quarter eagle represents a fascinating chapter in United States coinage, notable for its distinctive recessed design elements. Unlike traditional coins with raised details, the features of this two and a half dollar piece are sunken directly into the gold surface. The obverse displays a proud Native American chief looking left, wearing a detailed feathered headdress, while the reverse depicts a majestic standing eagle. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1928, this coin contains 0.1209 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 90 percent. Out of a total mintage of 416,000 pieces, this specific specimen has survived in remarkable condition, earning a graded designation of Mint State 64 (MS-64) with additional verification. Because it lacks a mintmark, we know it was produced at the main Philadelphia facility, carrying on a legacy of innovative American minting techniques from the pre-1933 era.
