Description
Lovely 1926 Sesquicentennial
Quarter Eagle, MS65
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. CAC. The low-relief
Sesquicentennial gold quarter eagles and silver half dollars are
telling demonstrations of why coinage design by committee usually
turns out badly. After more than three-quarters of the original
mintage failed to sell and was relegated to the melting pots, it
would be another 58 years before America would issue a
commemorative gold piece--the 1984 Olympic Games ten dollar.This lovely Gem piece, on the other hand, should prove extremely popular with bidders, given its pristine surfaces, a bold strike for the issue, and lack of even the remotest distraction.(Registry values: N2998)
