Liberty Quarter Eagles
1867 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Quarter eagle coinage in the late 1860s was of token quantities only at the Philadelphia Mint, as any gold coins introduced into the Eastern economy were quickly hoarded by the public and did not circulate. Philadelphia struck only 3,250 quarter eagles in 1867. Examples are rare in all grades, with PCGS and NGC combined reporting 67 submissions. Mint State pieces are particularly rare. The Condition Census consists of an MS64 and an MS65 at PCGS, and two MS64s at NGC. This example is the sole finest with a CAC endorsement.
The strike is sharp, and the fields display semiprooflike mirroring. A few light marks determine the grade, but the eye appeal excels. Rich orange-gold coloration is quite pleasing. Population: 1 in 64, 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 64, 0 finer (3/17).
