Liberty Quarter Eagles
1862 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. CAC. This Civil War-era quarter eagle issue is scarce across the entire grade spectrum. Near-Mint coins are exceedingly difficult to find, and this AU58 example has the look of an even higher grade. Lustrous rose-gold surfaces reveal numerous abrasions on each side, but friction is essentially indistinguishable. CAC: 3 in 58, 6 finer (11/16).
