1857 $2.50 Liberty Gold NGC MS-62
The 1857 Quarter Eagle represents a classic example from the Liberty Head series, struck during a period of westward expansion and gold rush prosperity. This Philadelphia Mint issue was produced in the midst of economic turbulence, making surviving examples particularly significant to collectors of pre-1933 American gold coinage.
The obverse features Liberty's portrait facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed "LIBERTY" and surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "2 1/2 D." clearly visible around the border.
This example has been certified MS-62 by NGC, indicating well-preserved mint state condition with attractive golden surfaces and strong detail throughout. The Quarter Eagle series remains highly sought after by collectors of classic American gold, representing both historical significance and numismatic value.
