Description

1908 Two and a Half, MS65
First Year Indian Head Issue

1908 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. The inaugural Bela Lyon Pratt quarter eagle design's 564,800-piece 1908 mintage caused an upswell among the collecting public and many pieces were saved. This Gem Uncirculated example is well-preserved with frosty luster and only minor weakness at the eagle's upper wing -- a die-making defect that was corrected in subsequent years. Attractive wheat-gold color and nearly mark-free surfaces confirm the well-deserved MS65 grade.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 288Y, PCGS# 7939, Greysheet# 8603)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
