1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial MS66+ 认证号35372752, PCGS号7466

What an AMAZING, superb GEM quality Sesquicentennial quarter eagle! A brilliant satin luster blooms from all over with very flashy, radiating cartwheel luster. Every design element is sharply struck showing full definition. A medium orange golden-glow shows some areas of light rose toning, giving this beauty a stunning look. Only under the magnification of a strong loupe can you see any tiny ticks. The eye appeal, as you might expect is incredible! PCGS 190, NGC 108, CAC 17. Only six coins have been graded 66+ at PCGS, none at NGC. The ONLY CAC-approved one sold in January 2018 for $19,200. There is a SINGLE MS67 graded finer at PCGS, a coin that has not sold in auction in over 18 years! Legend Auction Nov.2018

In 1926, the U.S. celebrated the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by issuing two commemorative coins, a half dollar and a $2.50 gold piece.  The front of the $2.50 gold piece features a full-length image of Liberty holding a torch in her outstretched right arm and an unfurling scroll in the other.  The back of the coin is a frontal view of Independence Hall, where the delegates met and signed the document. 

The $2.50 Sesqui has the largest mintage of any early gold commemorative by far, apparently in anticipation of strong collector demand.  PCGS alone has certified over 11,000 examples, representing almost a fourth of the total mintage.  The most common grade is MS64, followed by MS63, then MS65.  MS66 examples are scarce, but not rare, the result of the low relief design and the open, vulnerable devices.  No MS67 examples are known yet, and if such a high-grade piece were to hit the market, the value would be astonishing.
