Description

1861 New Reverse Quarter Eagle, MS65
A High Mintage Conditional Rarity

1861 $2 1/2 New Reverse, Type Two, MS65 NGC. Yellow-gold surfaces are blazing with luster and highlighted with a whiff of violet. The surfaces are pristine, as the Gem grade would suggest. The Philadelphia Mint made over 1.28 million quarter eagles in 1861, the third highest mintage of the series. However, this date is surprisingly scarce in Choice Mint State or better, with only 56 certifications in Gem from PCGS and an additional 19 from NGC. This rarity, plus its Civil War-era issuance, makes this issue an excellent choice for type sets.(Registry values: P2)
