1927 $2 1/2

Coin / United States of America / 1927 / Philadelphia / $2.50 Indian Gold / $2.50 (Two and a Half Dollars)

The 1927 Indian Quarter Eagle is by no means rare and shares many similarities to the preceding 1926 issue. Another type coin issue but there seem to be far more attractive pieces available on the market compared to most other dates. For relatively cheap a collector can fill this whole in their collection for an affordable price and get a lustrous, fully struck stunner at the same time with minor difficulty.
