<B>1927 $2 1/2 MS66 NGC.</B></I> While the 1927 shares its relative availability with the other quarter eagle issues of the 1920s, in grades above Gem, this issue is considerably more challenging than its 1925-D or 1926 counterparts, with MS66 the highest grade awarded by either NGC or PCGS (7/07). Garrett and Guth (2006) comment on the elusive nature of finer pieces: "If one desires the lofty (and current top) grade of MS66, substantial patience will likely be required as a few years may pass between offerings of this condition rarity ... "<BR> With the present piece up for sale, what collectors need now is not patience, but a willingness to bid. This amazing Premium Gem exhibits uncommonly vibrant luster and strong detail. The shining sun-gold and orange-gold surfaces are free of mentionable distractions, and the coin's eye appeal is breathtaking. In sum, a simply wonderful representative.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Bela Lyon Pratt<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
