Description

Elusive 1865 Quarter Eagle, AU53

1865 $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. The 1865 quarter eagle sports one of the lowest mintages for the Liberty Head series (1,520 circulation strikes). The date is extremely rare in all grades, as is readily evident from NGC/PCGS population figures. The two services have certified a total of 28 examples, a single specimen of which is assigned a Mint State grade.
Traces of luster reside in the recessed areas of this AU53 example, and yellow-gold patina dominates both sides, each of which displays whispers of red. A well executed strike imparts sharp definition to the devices, and close inspection reveals no severe circulation marks. All in all, a rather attractive example of this rare date.
