1928 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle MS-64+ PCGS

---

The 1928 gold quarter eagle represents a fascinating departure from traditional coinage methods. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this two and a half dollar gold piece features an innovative incuse design, meaning the details and inscriptions are sunken below the flat surface of the coin rather than raised above it. This distinctive physical characteristic makes the series stand out dramatically among United States issues. With a purity of 0.900 gold and containing 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin displays the date 1928 on its obverse. This particular issue comes from a total mintage of 416,000 pieces. Because it was produced in Philadelphia, it bears no mint mark. Having achieved a high certified grade of Mint State 64+ (MS-64+), this specimen showcases the unusual recessed details of the Indian Gold Quarter Eagle series with exceptional clarity.
