<B>1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS66 NGC.</B></I> The Sesquicentennial quarter eagle would prove to be the last gold commemorative issue struck by the United States until 1983. The change in administration from Coolidge to Hoover brought a change in the official attitude toward commemoratives, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who approved of commemoratives initially, issued his infamous executive order regarding gold coinage early in his term.<BR> Seasoned commemorative collectors know the difficulty of acquiring a pleasing example of the Sesquicentennial quarter eagle, but this beautiful representative should meet every expectation. The strike is solid, and the gold-orange surfaces offer glittering luster and delicate apricot accents. While the vast majority of examples show grade-limiting marks on Liberty and her torch and scroll, these areas are devoid of mentionable flaws. NGC has graded just three finer examples (7/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
