1927 Indian Head $2.50 Gold Quarter Eagle PCGS MS63

Why order this $2.50 Gold 1927 Indian Head Quarter Eagle?

While this created some consternation among collectors, who had trouble stacking the coins, and consumers, who found that dust and debris gathered in them, it also makes the coins essential to any collection of historic pieces. This 1927 piece is an excellent choice for a type coin.
