Description du lot

1859 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Breen-6245. Type I Reverse. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. A near-fully lustrous, softly frosted example further adorned with original pinkish-honey patina. Striking detail is bold to sharp throughout. The Philadelphia Mint produced only 39,364 quarter eagles in 1859, a figure that includes examples of both the Type I and II Reverse hub varieties. The old Type I Reverse style offered here is markedly scarcer, especially in the finer circulated and Mint State grades. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. PCGS Population: 16; 23 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 97788. NGC ID: 25JK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
