- 1859 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Type II Reverse. MS-63 (PCGS).
Endearing deep rose-gold patina mingles with frosty mint luster on both sides of this sharp and inviting piece. The master reverse hub was changed during this period of quarter eagle production with the old style hub having arrows that nearly touch the letters CA in AMERICA, the new hub with the arrows well back from these letters and showing more separation the arrow heads. Judging by extant populations, somewhat more than half of the 39,364 circulation strike quarter eagles struck in the Philadelphia Mint in 1859 feature the Type II Reverse. In truth, however, both hub varieties of this issue are significant rarities in Mint State. Seldom offered this nice, this impressive Choice example is worthy of serious bidder consideration.
PCGS Population: 10; 7 finer (MS-66 finest).
PCGS# 7788. NGC ID: 25JJ.
