Description

Rare 1859-S Quarter Eagle, AU55

1859-S $2 1/2 AU55 PCGS. An early San Francisco Mint quarter eagle from a mintage of just 15,200 coins. Nearly the entire production entered circulation, a common theme for coins from the Western Mints. Typical surviving examples grade just VF or XF, and Choice AU or near-Mint representatives are surprisingly rare. This one is fully lustrous with bold details. Both sides have frosty yellow surfaces with excellent eye appeal. Population: 7 in 55, 13 finer (6/09).
