Description
Notable 1926 Sesquicentennial
Quarter Eagle, MS66
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS66 PCGS. Modern collectors
tend to think of John R. "Ray" Sinnock as the designer of the
Roosevelt dime, but in truth he is a multigenerational
wunderkind who helped George T. Morgan design the new hubs
for the Morgan dollar in 1921, at the tender age of only 33. He was
named assistant engraver in 1923, and chief engraver in 1925 upon
Morgan's death. In 1926 he designed the Sesquicentennial gold
quarter eagle, and he continued serving as chief engraver until his
own death in 1947, at age 59.The low-relief design of the Sesquicentennial two and a half makes it appear poorly struck; even well-struck examples tend to show abrasions on Liberty, in particular. This orange-gold Premium Gem piece is remarkably abrasion-free, with as good a strike as ever seen on the issue. PCGS has certified several dozen in this grade, with none finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
