1926 Sesquicentennial Quarter Eagle, MS66
Impressive Visual Appeal

1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial Quarter Eagle MS66 PCGS. Issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence, the 1926 two and a half dollar piece depicts Liberty standing with a scroll of the Declaration of Independence in her left hand and the Torch of Freedom in her right. The reverse shows the front view of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Although well struck for the issue, the low relief design seldom produced well-defined devices. The obverse is presented adequately, but the reverse is soft and shows incomplete building borders. Often mistaken as fingerprints, the reverse includes rays of the sun behind the Hall, but poor strikes produced differing results. Even so, the fields are unabraded and the olive-gold surfaces are softly frosted with accents of lavender and orange for very pleasing eye appeal. PCGS has graded only one numerically finer piece (6/25).(Registry values: N4719)
From The Mark George Collection.
