High Condition Census
1851 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-66 (NGC).
An exquisite condition rarity that belongs in the finest collection of Liberty Head gold. Beautiful golden-olive surfaces reveal tinges of orange and pink colors at more direct viewing angles. Further adorned with billowy frosty luster, an overall sharp strike and premium Gem quality further enhance this coin's already considerable appeal.
With precious metal from the California Gold Rush flowing into Eastern commercial centers such as New York and Philadelphia, the main Mint in the latter city churned out an impressive total of 1,372,748 quarter eagles in 1851. This is certainly one of the most plentiful issues of its era in an absolute sense, although we caution bidders that Choice and Gem survivors remain elusive in numismatic circles. High in the Condition Census, the present example will certainly catch the eye of knowledgeable numismatists.
NGC Census: 2; 0 finer at this service. The corresponding PCGS Population is 1/1 (MS-67 finest).
PCGS# 7759. NGC ID: 25HL.
