- 1869 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS).
Appreciably prooflike in the fields, this flashy piece exhibits a decided frosty texture to sharply struck design elements. Handsome deep rose-orange patina overall with tinges of pale silver evident at indirect lighting angles. Produced during an era in which gold coinage had not yet returned to active circulation in the Eastern and Midwestern states since its withdrawal early in the Civil War, it should come as no surprise to read that the 1869 quarter eagle has a circulation strike mintage of just 4,320 pieces. Survivors are scarce in an absolute sense and rare in Mint State, the present example numbering among the finest obtainable by the collector of certified Liberty Head gold coinage.
PCGS Population: 6; 5 finer (MS-64 finest).
PCGS# 7809. NGC ID: 25KD.
