1903 NGC MS-66 $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle Gold Coin
The Liberty Quarter Eagle Coin served as the US's official $2.50 circulating coin from 1840 to 1907.
They are featured with 0.12094 troy ounces of gold and a remarkable design signed by Christian Gobrecht that holds the record for the longest unchanged design in American gold coinage history.
Like other pre-1933 gold coins, many $2.50 Liberty Half Eagles vanished during the economic downturn of the 1930s. As gold prices increased, these coins were confiscated, hoarded, and melted down for their gold content.
Today, SD Bullion offers 1903 $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle Gold Coins, sealed and certified by NGC as an MS-66 sample.

An NGC MS-66 Coin
NGC - Numismatic Guaranty Company is an independent third-party service that uses the Sheldon Grading Scale to appraise and grade coins according to their condition. The scale ranks coins from 1 to 70.
MS stands for mint state. It refers to a coin struck in the same format as a business circulation coin that remained uncirculated. Grade 66 indicates the coin may have contact marks and signs of wear and tear, but it is above average in quality of strike and preserved original mint luster.
