Liberty Quarter Eagles
1856 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Among pre-Civil War quarter eagle issues, the 1856 is one of the few that is accessible even at the Gem level, though condition rarity is a given in that grade. This example boasts needle-sharp detail and shining yellow-gold surfaces that gain an aura of duskiness close to the rims. Population: 6 in 65, 4 finer. CAC: 3 in 65, 0 finer (5/17).
