- 1859-S Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). This sharply defined, bright honey-rose example retains ample evidence of a satin to semi-prooflike finish from the dies. After striking a generous total of 69,200 pieces in 1857 (there is no 1858-S quarter eagle), the San Francisco Mint struck only 15,200 examples of this denomination in 1859. Both issues are nearly identical in overall rarity, however, indicative of heavy commercial use for early S-mint gold issues. This is an uncommonly high grade survivor that would do nicely in an advanced cabinet. Provenance: From The Des Moines Collection. PCGS# 7790. NGC ID: 25JN.
