1928 $2.50 Gold MS Values
Details
The 1928 breaks the trend from the past few issues slightly as it is more scarce and therefore takes more work finding a suitable piece for a collection of any kind. The eye appeal and overall quality are about average as this series goes. Not an exciting issue but as always there are superb gems out there if you can find them and want to pay the premium to acquire.
Obverse: The obverse features the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse: The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 2 1/2 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
