- 1864 Liberty Quarter Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Sharply defined devices and vibrant, nearly complete, semi-prooflike luster confirm a very short stint in active circulation for this solidly graded Choice AU. Possessed of attractive color in an even olive-orange shade, both sides brighten to more of an orange-gold sheen as the surfaces dip into a light. Scattered abrasions are commensurate with the grade, and none are worthy of individual attention. Very nice for a lightly circulated gold coin from the far-off 1860s.<br /> The 1864-P is a very rare Quarter Eagle in any grade, a mere 2,824 pieces struck for commercial use while specie payment remained suspended as the Civil War continued to rage in the Eastern states. Attrition was also high due to the war, with most examples eventually melted for one reason or another. Today, it is likely that only a dozen or two business strikes 1864 Quarter Eagles exist, and the issue ranks as one of the great rarities in the Liberty series.
