1862 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.
Satiny rose-gold surfaces with a sharp strike and abundant eye appeal. The suspension of gold specie payments in the North at the end of 1861 explains the precipitate drop in circulation strike quarter eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint the following year. Only 98,543 coins were struck in 1862, and this issue is far scarcer than the 1861 in all grades. Mint State survivors at any level are noteworthy rarities.
