Description

Remarkable 1863-S Quarter Eagle, AU58

1863-S $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint only coined proof quarter eagles in 1863 and 10,800 business strikes were minted in San Francisco during the year. They would be the last S-Mint quarter eagles until the end of the Civil War. The present near-Mint representative survives from the moderate mintage. Most were heavily circulated up and down the Western seaboard, while gold coins in the east were hoarded and failed to circulate. This piece is a remarkable example with lustrous orange surfaces and exceptional design definition. Census: 14 in 58, 6 finer (6/09).
