- 1859-S Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). Delightful pale golden-honey surfaces retain ample luster and predominantly sharp striking detail. The San Francisco Mint produced no quarter eagles in 1858, and when it returned to coinage of this denomination in 1859 its delivery of 15,200 pieces represented a significant reduction from the outputs achieved in 1856 and 1857. The 1859-S is understandably scarce in circulated grades, and with Mint State survivors rare this pleasing AU represents a significant find for the astute gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. PCGS Population: 7; 35 finer, just 12 of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 7790. NGC ID: 25JN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
