- 1850 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). Satiny to softly frosted luster mingles with warm medium gold patina on both sides of this handsome quarter eagle. Lightly struck on the eagle's neck and right leg, yet appreciably bolder elsewhere, the obverse is actually quite sharply defined overall for an 1850s Liberty Head gold coin. With the discovery of gold in quantity in California the previous year, enough bullion began reaching the Philadelphia Mint for a generous mintage of 252,923 quarter eagles in 1850, setting the record for the denomination up to that point (although it was soon dwarfed by the delivery of 1,372,748 pieces in 1851). The 1850 is typically offered in VF, EF and AU grades. Few examples were spared circulation, and the issue is scarce to rare at all levels of Mint State preservation. NGC Census: 35; 21 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 7755. NGC ID: 25HG. Click here for certification details from NGC.
