Description

The 1909-P 1909 $2. 50 Gold Quarter Eagle PCGS MS62 is a pre-1933 United States gold coin graded Mint State 62 by the Professional Coin Grading Service. Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, this Quarter Eagle belongs to the celebrated Indian Head series introduced in 1908, featuring sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt's distinctive incuse design -- a departure from the raised-relief coins of earlier eras. The obverse presents a Native American chief in full war bonnet with the inscription LIBERTY, while the reverse showcases a proud eagle perched on a bundle of arrows, accompanied by E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST. Struck in 0. 900 fine gold with a total weight that delivers 0. 1209 troy oz of gold content, the coin carries a $2. 50 face value. The 1909 Philadelphia issue draws consistent collector demand as part of a short-lived and visually distinctive series. This example is housed in a PCGS tamper-evident hard plastic slab bearing the certification number 7940. 62/2847041, preserving the coin's surfaces and confirming its MS62 grade for decades to come.

The coin is encapsulated in its original PCGS hard plastic slab, which protects the surfaces and preserves the grade. CoinDuffle ships slabbed coins securely padded to prevent movement or impact during transit, ensuring the coin arrives in the same condition it left the seller.
