Description

Prized High Grade 1861-S Quarter Eagle

1861-S $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. A very elusive Liberty Quarter Eagle, the mintage of 24,000 pieces does not accurately measure this coin's scarcity. Also, in the early S-mint tradition, the few obtainable pieces are invariably low grade, usually VFs and even an XF can be classified as rare. Both sides display pleasing, satiny luster and are a trifle weak in the tell-tale areas. Well up on the condition census scale for this prized San Francisco date.
