- 1853 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-65 (NGC).
Here is a remarkably well preserved example of an otherwise available early date Liberty Head quarter eagle issue. Indeed, the surfaces are close to pristine with an overall smooth appearance. Lovely mint luster, vivid golden-rose patina, and bold to sharp striking detail all add to the appeal of this Gem quarter eagle. Thanks to a particularly large quantity of California gold reaching the Philadelphia Mint that year, the 1853 has the highest circulation strike mintage in the entire Liberty Head quarter eagle series of 1840 to 1907. Circulated examples of this issue are plentiful and even low end Uncirculated coins through MS-62 are relatively obtainable. The 1853 is scarce in Choice Mint State, however, and Gems are rare for a pre-Civil War era Liberty Head gold issue. This is a significant condition rarity that would do equally well in an advanced type set or specialized gold cabinet.
NGC Census: 20; 2 finer (MS-66+ finest).
PCGS# 7767. NGC ID: 25HV.
