Description

1926 Sesquicentennial Two and a Half, MS67
One of Three at This Top Grade Level

1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS67 NGC. The 1926 Sesquicentennial quarter eagle was the final commemorative gold issue prior to the modern era of gold commemoratives that began in 1984. Both the Sesquicentennial half dollars and quarter eagles were designed by John R. Sinnock, Mint chief engraver at the time. Today most certified survivors of this issue average no better than MS63. This Superb Gem is one of only three so graded, all at NGC. The devices offer exquisite detail, virtually unheard-of for this often-weak issue. Hints of sparkling frost appear on the uppermost design elements. The surfaces are delightfully lustrous, primarily yellow-gold with occasional hints of peach and straw close to the margins. The preservation is magnificent and the coin appears virtually flawless, even under close inspection. The discerning gold commemorative enthusiast would do well to consider this amazing Superb Gem.
